how far do you commute?

[steveindenmark]

I commute 12 miles each way. This means getting up at 4.15am for a 6am start. The amount of times I do it a week depends largely on the weather. It is no fun riding in the dark in the rain.
But I ride most days in the summer.

I have a wide range of bikes to choose from from a Kickbike to an Electric bike, and they all get used.

Just over 3.5 miles each way

Quickest route would be 2 miles but I take a longer roundabout route that takes it out to 4.5 miles each way.

About 18 miles round trip. My commute starts with climbing a hill then it's all nice and flat all the way to Marylebone.

19.97 on the Odometer Today as I went via Vauxhall Bridge but shorter coming back as I used Southwark Bridge.It varies between 16 + 20.

19.24/19.90 in (depending on route), 19.63 back. The discrepancy is something to do with the New-Cross 1-way system I think...

 

[Onthedrops]

Just short of 4 miles each way.
Journey to work is practically downhill all the way. Takes 10 mins.

Homeward commute is a different story. 4 miles, uphill all the way, no respite really but a cracking leg workout.

15 mile there 15 back but there are two 25% hills in it and I have to set off at 0540 to get there at 0640 start work at 7 View attachment 11780 cracking views though!!

That is a magnificent commute, my views do not compare

42K so 26 mile round trip. House is probably only around 8.5 miles from work, but have devised routes that avoid having to go through Wokingham. Usually do twice a week, would like to up it to three or four but other commitments make this difficult at present.

32 miles and a bit (16 miles each way). East Croydon station to West Hampstead. No significant hills and some nice stretches, but the A23 can write the manual on bad behaviour.

26 miles round trip on the tow paths, 70m climb to the office, 70m drop on the way back

 

[Aleksic]

10 miles there, mainly down hill and usually without headwind. 10 miles back, mainly uphill and usually with headwind. Needless to say it always takes longer on the return.

500 metres!

It actually takes me longer to unlock then relock the bike properly than it does to walk the "commute"

I commute a few times per week.. 16miles each way - it's 15miles of which is along the canal into Leeds - I used to commute on a road bike but got fed up of the slog along the roads.. The canal is ace and it means I can have lots of fun getting filthy on my mountain bike before work!!

I'm moving soon, will be a 50 mile round trip - aiming to do it 3 days a week...
