bicycle commuting and training

Message posted by: Sean C.

So I started school this week and I now ride my bicycle to campus (3.5 miles). I was just wondering how that is viewed in terms of training. I don't usually count it as any training because it's not as if I'm racing to school and back, but I was just wondering what you all would consider it as being. I ride to and from school 1-2 times a day, so thats another 7-14 miles on the bike. I used to drive, but now that I'm a triathlete I figured I could use carbs instead of gas.
