Well i dont wear a gimp suit, thats for sure! lol
but if you are going to do a fair distance then a road bike is the way forward. Yeah you can do it on an MTB, BMX or whatever. But get a bike that is intended for that job. Even a hybrid would be better than an MTB. Especially if you like to go fast on a bike. 8)

there you go thinking sensibly - the sadists at work prefer to sponsor me for doing things that are clearly going to be painful
they probably wouldn't cough up so much cash if I was actually using the right bike for the job
