  • Im in exact same situation as you OP.

    Still have the car ( but only does 100 miles a month now, kept due to little ones/holidays etc )

    My 125 does 98% of the commuting. 180 miles for £10, cheap as chips.

    And on the day it snows......you have your feet! maybe a day or 3 a year. Mines 5.5 miles and to be fair watching all the pretty snow, the other drivers sliding uncontrolled, kids making snowmen etc, the walk/time flies by!

    i dont think cycling 12 miles a day would eat into your training plan at all i go for a ride of 60 miles some weekends and go for a run afterwards if anything it will enhance:
    1-your savings
    2-your fitness
    saying that looking at my strava in the last 28 days i have done 566 miles trust me youll be fine another great thing bout it if you were to get a road bike youd be amazed at how much traffic you could skip also maintenance is really easy and straight forward for them as well

    Its the time it would take also!. It would mean getting in at gone 6pm some days, I work long days and the last thing you want after a long day is a 30 min cycle home in the rain!. I get your point though.
