When I first started here where I work, I rode 35 miles each way. It'd take me about 1.5 to 2 hours, but I was desperate for money and I was sweeping up and doing some light welding, grinding, and DA work on steel. All that physical labor, then having to bike all the way home was a mother****er. I look back on it now and think yeah **** that.

Jesus mother****er at the end of the day your body must’ve been like...

Basically, and I was in decent shape. 70 mile bike rides were my usual workout back then. Just for fun I'd bike from my place to my parents about 40 miles away, work out, then bike back and have my Mom time me, but it still wore me tf out. I have a friend who bikes a century every day still, and he's in his 60's.

If I can't do it comfortably in sandals then it's not worth doing.

Your legs should have been like steel girders after only a few weeks of that lol

I'm thinking more of his firm, supple buttocks. Nobody thinks of how a bike works the ass.

Yes, and yes. Tearing apart all my hamstrings, and then a few years down the road separating my Achilles from my calf muscle on the same leg put most of that to a dead stop. The latest head-on collision gave me a contusion on that leg too, that just recently started acting up and I have no idea what the ****s going on there. I still ride, but my ass is a lot less supple, and my left leg is ****ed.

I rode my bike for 2 hours every day in high school, then 3 hours every day for the past five years. Never noticed my legs to be special. Maybe I have ****ed up genes
