It's 28 miles each way.... that's 1.75 hours..
Easy enough for a fitish young fella ..

I suspect his bike is not assist limited to 15mph, 30mph more likely.

Well written article.

Very similar to the commute I inrend to be doing when I move house in a couple of months (except he is starting from a point about 10 miles west of me).

I'm not brave enough to think I will be doing it every day though - probably only once a week. Just in the process of buying a hybrid car to do the non-eapc trips (1st Generation Honda Insight for those into their cars - years ahead of its time when designed).

What bike do you reckon is he riding in the article?

From the front view it looks like a Cube to me - which means a Bosch drive unit I think.

Yes, possibly a Cube Cross Hybrid Pro

It really makes me sick when someone writes in these articles how you can't get a decent bike for less than £1000 - arrogant bar steward! I bet he has an iPhone too.
