Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I live in Far North Queensland and just started a job a bit south of Perth, wondering if this commute would be feasible on my single speed each day by lightbluelightning Bicycling Bike Bike Commuting Biking Commuting Cycling

Pilot_Device on April 18, 2025 10:57 pm Yeah mate. I wouldn’t want gears on that daily distance because you might have to change a chain halfway back. Ride on.
TommyFromRugrats2 on April 18, 2025 11:07 pm Looks like more descent than climbing, you’re good to go.
fouronenine on April 18, 2025 11:18 pm Google tends to underestimate pace. Lachlan Morton could do that in half the time. I’d take the Shortcut too, more direct and less traffic. Just make sure you have a couple of extra spare tires and good mudguards for the red dirt.
bigalbuzz on April 18, 2025 11:24 pm It looks like Perth is two hours behind Queensland so if you keep a good pace you could arrive before you begin.
Professional-Way4542 on April 18, 2025 11:24 pm Hydrate before and after both legs of the trip, and you’re good to go. Enjoy the freedom and convenience of bike commuting!
