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".0

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.0 -

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.0 -
