Well thanks to the SEPTA (public transportation) strike in Philadelphia i have no way to get to school. So i'm going to try a bike it. Its about 8 miles and I have a 8am class so i was thinking about leaving at 6am just to give myself some time. Is that good? And I'm not in great shape but I'm definitely sure i can do this w/ no problem. So any thoughts or tips?
 
Make sure the tires are pressured up and take it for a ride to make sure every thing is working right. Pedal at a fast cadence and a lite pressure on the pedals. Pedaling slow and mashing on the pedals will kill you legs very quickly. You should be able to travel 8 miles in less then an hour.
