Title of thread keeps getting diluted.
Tell us ibbz, how long do we wait for your final title "doing it properly in Lycra"?

So do i, on the rare occasions i cycle to work.
It is 75 km each way.

Wow man, I'm impressed, that's almost 50 miles each way!
I'd jump on a train.

I'd jump on a train.

You wouldn't need to if you'd embrace the lycra.........

FWIW until i started this job i've basically commuted by bike, 5 days a week my entire working life.

Starting with 12 mile round trip, usually extended on the way home to take it to at least 30 miles, more likely 50 or 60 (i was racing then).
Then a change or office lead to a 38 mile round trip with three massive climbs each way (1 hour commute, stretch target was 50 minutes, record was 48, still racing)

Then back to an 18 mile round trip, one big climb each way. Record was under 23 minutes....... or an alternative 22 mile off road route. (about 35 minutes in the summer, the route missed out the hill!) Then stopped racing and got slower and slower........

I've worn lycra for all of that.
