For 7 years after left my parents place my only form of transportation was a bike. I rode all through college and my first job.

Toward the end I could do 40-50 miles a day and not even think about it. I think my record was 75 miles in a day.

After a 20 year break I pulled my old bike out to ride 2 miles mostly downhill one evening. Holy shit I was sore. I could hardly move the pedals in my old cruising gear.

It's really incredible how biking works an entirely different set of muscles from walking or running.

Struggling to make it even a quarter of a mile was really disheartening, but now that I'm going 10 miles at a time I'm really starting to get into the fun stuff. There's a bike ride fundraiser on a few weeks that I'm planning on signing up for. 18 miles over a 5 hour period. I couldn't consider something like that last season but this season that's looking extremely doable
