Well, couldn't find anything on the 2-mile rule -- I know I'm not making it up, I saw it on some website, somewhere. But I'm going to post on it, anyway, to get it out there since I'm already using it in my posts.
The 2-mile rule for cycling is, simply put, using your bicycle for trips that fall within a 2-mile radius from your house. On this now-mythical website the person (forever unknown) gave a simple way to calculate this using a map and a compass. Using your bike computer (if you don't have one they can run really cheap to really expensive) would be a definitive way to figure out distances. Mapquest and Bikely.com would also work well for figuring out distances to some of your more frequent destinations.
You aren't crazy! You probably read it on No Impact Man. He was talking about it on the Today Show or whatever show he was on a few weeks ago, where he was showcasing his bike. Look there, I bet you will find what you are looking for!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Laurel -- I'm going to stop by No Impact Man sometime today and see if I can find the reference and then update on it!
