even 100 a week's no big deal if your bike is your transport.
work commute - 4 miles x 2 trips x 5 working days = 40
social stuff at night / weekend - 10 x 7 = 70
figure in a couple of rolls for the hell yeah of it and you're doing 150 miles a week. I imagine this is pretty average for a lot of people on the forum.
I think maybe the mileage question only came afterwards from the editor and the non-cycling journalist threw in a panic estimate based on their world of oyster cards and taxi rides. Not that I'm Kyle or the editor, I'm just riffing.
