Journalist looking for cyclists who do long commutes

hellojournalist

Hello everyone, I hope it's ok to post here. I'm a journalist for a national paper and I'm writing about long commutes (over 2 hours). I'm looking for a cyclist who does at least a four-hour round trip every day, or most days, for work. It would just be a a short phone interview, about 10 minutes, but I would need to do it today, Thursday! I'll be happy to explain more if you're interested and message me.

My commute has taken me 4 hours there and back, but normally it takes me well under 3 and for that reason "I'm out".

15 minutes of 'fame' - slightly ironic that it's published the day I get knocked off!

That is indeed an epic commute, and not one I'm envious of. But I think the OP is looking for someone who cycles 2hrs e.w. a day.

I seem to remember a BBC article along the same lines last year. The guy they found did about 2 1/2 hours each way, but only a few days a week and, I suspect, in the warmer months.

I think it will be tough to find someone who genuinely cycles 30 miles each way, more or less daily.

Ian Cammish used to or still does that when going to the Planet X shop to work. But he is allowed as he is a legend.
