Will cycling mess up my sprinting?

@T-Slow

I was thinking of cycling the 10 km to work and back daily.

Am I going to ruin myself for speed, or is this not that serious? I’d really like to cut back on the driving, and if this could be some kind of general fitness, then great.

If anybody could comment, it would be greatly appreciated.

I think it depends on your level, and how hard you ride. The faster a sprinter you are, I think the more negative an impact it can have, and the harder you ride, the more negative an impact it can have. For most sprinters, I don’t think it would be a problem, providing you aren’t stomping hard at a steady-state for 20minutes.
