how far do you commute?

I'll let you know.

I live on the Isle of Wight and work in Winchester. I commute by bike at least twice a week. It's a 70 mile round trip, plus the ferry. Sometimes ride it fixed gear, though at the beginning and not the end of the week! Only stop when ice on roads.

Motherwell to East Kilbride via Blantyre on way to work - 12 miles. East Kilbride to Motherwell via Uddingston on the way home - 14 miles. I go a slightly different route on the way home to avoid a stupid junction which is always a bit Wacky Races

Enjoyable on the way too work, quite testing on the way back ?

I'll let you know.

Wasn't too bad actually, on a dry, relatively warm Saturday.

We need to drop my daughter off at school, which is near the station I get the train at so I go from the station to work then back to the station (around 6 miles) then around 4 miles from the station to my house in the evenings. So around 10 miles a day. I used to do this on a Tern Link P7i but I have recently upgraded to a Tern Joe P24 with full sized 26" wheels and it's a lot better for it.

My actual commute appears to be about 1 mile, merely getting across my university campus. Sounds a bit short I know, but it does involve the odd stint out into town too! And I have great fun overtaking those on road bikes going uphill while on my MTB.

22 mile round trip

I've started adding more to my commute now - it's 10.8 miles bare minimum (round trip) and I can easily do 15 miles now. I can just add a few more miles for leisure on one of the cycle paths that's 6 miles the wrong way too so I could, make it a 18 mile one way commute I'd have to get up very early in the AM for that though and I start at 530AM as it is

This was my longest bike commute this year. The car let me down, I hate the train, and I only had a couple of bits and bobs to do at work anyway.

Here was another work related commute a couple of weeks back, the car was fine, I just fancied the ride.

Here's a more usual commute for me.

And a work related ride in, where I knew I could leave the bike, and get the train home.

"Commute", 270km? I bow down to thee, o master.

The thing is, unless I have to do a full day, I've decided that's preferable to driving it, or doing the train / tube / public loser cruiser . I must be going crazy.

10 miles each way with a lovely hill to get me there faster but a nice climb on the way home

My commute is downhill into work - I quite like that :-)
