Do you have any evidence to support the “extreme outlier” assertion, speaking as someone in a large bike club who regularly does long rides. I understand most

I understand most commutes are under 3 miles but I think many serious club riders would ride between 50-100 miles in a single ride most weekends (might be stops for coffee and cake along the way :).
Sadly, we get close passed and threatened every week it seems.
Edit:
From Strava (which would probably show more serious cyclists) UK ride figures for 2015: http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/strava-reveals-average-british-cycle-commute-length/018882 http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/strava-reveals-average-brit...
That gives the impression that 2 hour plus rides are not that uncommon although, that will be skewed by the kind of rider who records their journeys.

"The average length of a cycle trip was three and a half miles, while the average length of a car trip was about eight and a half miles" Most people aren't club riders. Sadly, we get close passed and threatened every week it seems. I know, I ride more than 100 miles a week.
