25 mile cycle commute 5 days a week too much for a low mileage cyclist?

S.L.F. · 2017-09-21 22:51:31

So not sure if this is in the right space but I usually cycle just 8 miles a day to work and back but job has moved so am now required to commute about 20km each way Monday to Friday. I'm run fit but kind of injured so figured Id try the cycle. Would this be too much for a low mileage cyclist on a Fuji Absolute 2.1 hybrid?

wish I had the option of a cycle to work most days
31km one way, along busy main roads

sometimes I drive within 11km of work and do the cycle
usually on a Friday actually

That would be very tough alright, maybe once or twice a week.
Thats a good alternative, parking the car and cycling half of it
