30 miles...... you know.. a week ago; I decided to get my 270 pound fat butt onto my bicycle and pedal to Lebanon from Albany....I succeeded in doing so....now; bridges; roads; such...you might want to think about having a folding mountain bicycle along with your get-home bag; if you want to be able to get home quicker than walking if you have to abandon your vehicle. Sure the good ones are pricier than what you can find on Ebay from China; but they're quality...one that I like (and AM looking for is the Montague Paratrooper series....comes in Olive Drab already; have rack mounts I think for rear pannier bags; and are pretty solid....without the annoying "broken top tube" folds...it pivots from the seat tube area; with a quick release unit located on the top tube. Again; that's if you can afford it..otherwise; there are plenty of MTBs out there and with quick release wheels; you can pack them into the trunk of your car or carry them on the back of the truck; depends on what vehicle you have
