I commute everyday a 16 + miles round trip but on the weekends rather than sleeping a little bit more I wake up very early as ussual and sneak out to go ride my bike before my kids wake up... Cheating is not bad at all.. that is time we need to be just alone and enjoy something that you like and at the same time get a good overall workout. I Have and oldschool road bike but I really enjoy the smooth ride she gives me and I love her. She can go very fast..my average speed is 12mph after a month commuting ..when I started it was 8mph.
I got the bug as well.. I dont know how much I have spent already upgrading mi bike and buying cycling stuff..I even put down a deposit already for a new Gian entry level road bike which I plan on bringing home in a couple of months....yes...the money I am saving on gas goes towards the new bike......this thing is addictive.
