Bring a change of clothes that’s an exhausting bike ride if you don’t bike.
Are you decently athletic already?

It's best not to do that.

Im technically obese, but I'd like to think I have above average cardio for someone my size. I'm used to extreme cardio workouts. I got rhabdo recently, but that was because I don't drink enough water proportional to how i used to work out

I don't have much of a choice. I don't have a car or a license, and I'm trying to save money to move away from my mother. Paying for Lyft would cost me ~200 a week for a trip to a fro; I work part-time and get paid biweekly, which totals ~480-500, which means I'll be earning ~80-100 per pay period, which is not ideal.

I could ride the bus, but where I work is filled with homeless people and fucktards, so is rather not ride with them

3 hours of bike commuting in a day is brutal. You should take the bus.

A cheap $200 bike from Walmart will be a nightmare under that load. You will be replacing parts and tuning constantly. The cost of repairs and part replacements will exceed the value of the bike.

Is there anyway you could paint me a picture? I've done some pretty intense workouts at a boxing gym I used to go to, but I feel like my ignorance might be pushing me into something stupid

>>34305019
Are they really prone to breaking like that?

>>34305041
Dude, it's not designed for 3 hours of biking a day, especially if you're obese. $200 is a shit-tier bike.

I’m not a bike commuter myself or even a cyclist, but I mean… it just seems like a no-brainer.
On top of what the cyclist anon said, you’ll also undoubtedly spend a lot less of your workday commuting, giving you more free time in the evenings and mornings.
If it ever rains or snows or is especially hot, biking to and from work will be miserable.
If you had like a half hour ride to work I’d say go for it, but three hours total every workday will wear on you heavily after even just one week at work.

I'm like 200lbs, for reference. You make it sound like I'm morbidly obese...

Whatever, go ahead and try it and let us know how that goes. Hopefully you'll learn to change an inner tube ASAP because otherwise you will get stranded once you get a flat.

Dont buy cheap bikes, retard. Especially if you're going to use them for commuting, they'll get ruined halfway through. Get a good bike. Unless you're mentally retarded you should be able to pedal properly after an hour. Now, riding like a human might take longer depending on how good you are at these things(1-4 weeks probably). Also you should learn some basic mechanics because 1 hour 30 minutes is a long distance, and bikes tend to mess up. You want to avoid that

Get a lock or else an Italian film from the late '40s will transpire.

Thanks for all the helps guys. It's looking like I won't need to bike, but we'll see what the future holds.

Get yourself a bigger seat, i recently rode like 49 minutes for going/returning each and the next day must ass hurt, those slim seats are not comfortable. Also start taking small trips or thigh workouts before you start this so your legs get used to it. Have an extra T-shirt if you can because you are going to sweat. Watch for cars or roads with glass or foliage debris.
