>>1695530lol, i do that already, if I rode the most direct route the commute would be 30% shorter, I take the long scenic route by the river and over the canal, I even take the steep hill that comes round behind where I live when I could take the shorter flatter route through town. Nah, I'm good, faire play to anyone who cycles more than me, but we're only in competition with ourselves at the end of the day, I get home every day nicely tired out, not quite exhausted but out of breath and with a racing heart rate, that's good enough for me.
