It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

12 miles should definitely not take you more than an hour, thats definitely a leisurely average pace. A reasonable and realistic pace for a complete beginner biking for transport is around 15mph on a regular road bike in relatively flat terrain (less than 600 feet of total elevation)

The terrain was not entirely flat, I had several stops for traffic lights. It wasn't much over 1 hour, but it was a few minutes over. Sure downhill I went faster, but uphill I went slower. By the end I was getting tired as well and so slowed down even more.
