>That's 32 miles and 52 minutes for a round trip every day. >spend 8 hours on the road biking instead 4mph is a slow running speed...

  You have to add up both directions. The average speed of a bike commuter is under 10 mph. 32 miles thus takes more than 3.2 hours, * 2 = 6.4 hours per day biking the same distance as the average American commuter currently drives in 1/3 the time. Toss in a couple hills and you could easily hit 8 hours total biking time.

    The both-directions is already added into "32 miles" -- the one-way commute is 16 miles, not 32 miles. People who commute 32 miles one way should get a new job, a new place to live, or work from home.

        > Do you even live on this planet? Sure, and I don't drive farther than it is to outer space every day, like people putting in 60+ miles to commute to an office because reasons. (Can't have the kids go to school with the black folk is my guess.)
