I think you hugely overestimate the number of people who can ride a bicycle for 24 miles - let alone those who can do that in 2 hours. I ride a bicycle a 3 mil

I ride a bicycle a 3 miles to work every day, and while I'm sure I could work up to it I'm not entirely sure if I can do 24 miles without stopping because I haven't done it in so long. And keep in mind my 3 miles commute is more than the vast majority of westerners ever do - I probably have a higher base fitness just by using a bicycle at all.
- kaybe 8y agoGood point. It's only half the distance without stopping since there is a full workday before going back, but it's still not close. 3 miles is pretty standard around here, I think about 75% of people could do it. (excluding small kids and bedbound elderly) (some of them will have muscle aches at first, maybe, and be really slow)
- HumanDrivenDev 8y agoOh you're talking round trip? That's a bit more realistic.
