Some are more so than other but there's no bike lanes or anything. The highways people are driving 75-105 km/h (that's 45-65 MPH) and rumble strips on the shoulders of the roads....So it would be a delicate plan and damn we have hills. Either going to have to have "thunder quads" or lose a good bit of weight to be able to do 18.5 miles (one way). I had thought about doing it but there is a very small window where this is enough light in the morning to make it to work on time....probably a bad idea lol
I am fortunate enough to be only a 15 minute cycle from work. And some of that is on a cycle path, my town is fortunate to have a quite a good network of cycle paths. I have about 5 mins on a relatively busy road (but not one that people can do 60mph on, the speed limit is 30mph), then a cycle path alongside a stream and some fields for another 5 mins and then my route takes me through a park for the remaining 5. It is actually a really nice route, so I am very fortunate.
It really sounds like it would be impractical for you to cycle to work . 18.5 miles first thing in the morning would garner a big NO from me aswell haha
