You do realise you are an extreme outlier, that most people think of 30 minutes as a long ride.

Do you have any evidence to support the “extreme outlier” assertion, speaking as someone in a large bike club who regularly does long rides.

I understand most commutes are under 3 miles but I think many serious club riders would ride between 50-100 miles in a single ride most weekends (might be stops for coffee and cake along the way :).

Sadly, we get close passed and threatened every week it seems.

Edit: From Strava (which would probably show more serious cyclists) UK ride figures for 2015: http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/strava-reveals-average-brit...

That gives the impression that 2 hour plus rides are not that uncommon although, that will be skewed by the kind of rider who records their journeys.

From https://www.cyclinguk.org/resources/cycling-uk-cycling-stati...

"The average length of a cycle trip was three and a half miles, while the average length of a car trip was about eight and a half miles"

Most people aren't club riders.

Sadly, we get close passed and threatened every week it seems.

I know, I ride more than 100 miles a week.
