Is it reasonable to drive 20 minutes x2 every day from the get go if I haven't drove a bike in ages? (hexbear.net)

Bike is estimated 20 minutes one way to work, public transport takes 30-40 minutes estimated, but in reality can be over an hour. I really want a bike, I'm waiting for landlord to finish renovations so I have space to store it without a risk of it getting damaged or being in the way of the workers.

Is it safe to go immediately to driving 20 minutes one way x2 a day Monday-Friday? I walk quite a lot, but I know cycling engages some other muscle groups. I need to cancel my public transport ticket to afford this endeavour, but I'm hyped to better my body, health AND save time.

Also, I hope you don't mind me posting here more than Chapo's chat. I want some more activity for my lovely 'gradians. <3

As long as the areas you are going aren’t too extremely risky to bike in, that doesn’t sound too bad at all. You will very quickly become used to that
