All 3.5 one way and home again!! I have tons of hills so I was pretty beat up by the time I got to work. Took me a while to recover from the effort.
I see myself sticking to the road bike for my daily commutes!

Yeah bmx bikes are shit for daily commutes unless your running like 28/9 or 30/9 then its a bit easier

I'm at 25/9, I think. Yeah, I am pretty beat up. I even have a longer seat post, but not long enough! Not gonna try this again anytime soon.

Just ride more youll get used to it. I end up riding 10+ miles typically in a good sesh along with a victory beer/doob up at elysian park which isnt tall by any means but its still at 700 ft. coming from 200 ft. Maybe its just from learning to ride bikes in san francisco that I dont notice hills unless theyre actually steep but I cant imagine pa being too bad

When weather is good I ride my bike from my apartment in midtown to my job in Brooklyn, over the bridge and all..
Rode to the job site today felt great.. I think it's 4 miles one way I make it there in about 25mins

I ride that every morning and afternoon, to and from school. And the local is another 10+ miles from the school. Not that bad. I have been riding a bike to school for years. Probably ton up and down the same two hills hundreds of times.
