That 1st time ride home was a bear for me after a 10 hr shift. I probably can adapt to it, but seems like a lot. I could bike to work and try to leech a ride home from a co-worker. I'd probably pay $15 per trip to make it worth their time . Is that a fair price? I'm kindaish on their way home. Or am I being weak and just suck it up?
Your new commute is definitely too short. You need twice as much time on the saddle to fully enjoy bike commuting !
