“Whatever that means”, and then you discuss exactly what that means, so you know exactly what that means. You’re playing games. This is the point that I shoud peace out, but I’m a sucker for explaining things. One last time.

Ok let’s start with your 2 miles round trip. Meaing 1 mile one way. That’s nothing. My high schol was 3.5 miles, one way. My college was 11.6 miles, one way. My work was 9 miles, one way. And you have to do this twice a day. Five times a week, maybe more. And that’s not even what I would call long, that’s normal suburb to downtown.

And you were freaking out about 1 mile? And you’re now bragging about 2.5 miles after years of training? (5 miles sounds total, so that’s 2.5 miles one way).

Do you see the issue?

No. I’m saying the average adult can not do that on a normal bike. On a regular basis. Come hell or high water. When you’re kinda sick but not ready to call in sick. All those day to day conditions.

And that’s just distance. Now consider time. You don’t have the ability to go through a leisurely slow pace. This is life, you gottta get to work and get back home in a timely matter. Such is life. You gotta maintain a fairly high speed.

So no the average adult is not capable of that. Limits are not infinite. People max out allllllllllll the time. Doesn’t matter how much I train I will never be able to do an Ironman (can’t wait for you to misinterpret that one), because there are limits to what the body the average adult can do.

Ok peace.
