You have to seriously love riding to do this. When I lived in Andersonville, I would sometimes ride to the train in Forest Glen (~6 miles) and then get off in Gleview, and ride the whole way home (~18 miles) which was a lot of work. As a challenge, I tried to see how many days in my work week I could actually ride to and from work for the whole 36 miles; I only made it 2 times that week before I became ridiculously tired. 

Props to this dude; I would burn out in a matter of weeks.
