depends on the size of your backpack, if you could fit a round disc
that is 20" in diameter and about 2 inches wide in your bag then
yes.... i used to try distance on my 20" way back before my 36'er it
was hard but I did about 7 miles on it one time non-stop.... it was
crazy, I was saddle sore, and it took be a long time but I did it... on
a torker CX.... owch...

when I used to ride around on my 20" and people would comment I'd say,
"it beats walking." I'll walk 3 miles so yeah, sure, 20" 3 miles. But
think of it like walking that distance to budget time and energy.

I once did 20 miles in a day on a 20". It was a long day.

You could adapt the 20" by putting shorter cranks on. However, a 24"
wheel is 20% bigger, and you go 20% faster for the same rpm.

The 20" is suboptimal for distance work.

I don't recommend the 20" for distance riding but I have done it to
commute to my off road riding locations.

I'd recommend a larger wheel, say a 29" for commuting and muni.

This is why I thought coming up with a trailer bar would be a cool idea.
Clamp the uni's seat post to the trailer bar on the bike, and tow it to
your riding spot. If ya are worried about the trailer bar getting
stolen, it could have a loop on it that the bike lock goes through as
well as through the bike wheel and the frame.

as a daily commute??

It certainly is. For several months I used to commute 4 miles each way
to work on a 20". In fact, that was only half way as I used the
underground for the other half. But a couple of times I rode the whole
8 miles on the 20".

Give it a go.

Once you're used to it, though, you'll really appreciate a larger wheel
🙂

I'd go for it.

I regularly do the 4 miles to my work in the morning on my 20" and it
takes about 45mins.

I would recomend a larger wheel though as my 36" does it in about 20
mins.
