how far do you commute?

[Shortwave]

My commute at the moment is under a mile. From October though, it'll go up to 40 miles one way!

Is it 80 Miles total each day you commute? Or will it be a 40 Mile commute and you stay for a day or two, then 40 miles home?

Just once or twice a week, definitely not every day!

My next commute will go to 8 miles round from 30-33 round to my old office. I may have to explore my options.

13 miles in the car and 7.5-8ish on the bike each way depending on route.

Mine's 70miles each way (or at least was, it'll be about 60miles now), I use the train to make it doable. 4 miles to the station, 50mins train, 11-13miles cycle to my old office (that's becoming 0.6miles ). I only cycled the whole way to the office once I wish I had more often

It was 51miles to my old job that wasn't on a rail line and whilst I cycled the whole way a few times, I mainly drove to a distance I was comfortable with 8, 12 or 17miles and cycled that.

24,2km (15.04 miles) one way usually twice a week, fortunately fairly flat with the trusty Robinson.

Spoiler: Don't know...

...how the donkey is called.

mines the opposite
8.5 in the car , 9.7 on the bike to avoid a dangerous roundabout .

I could obviously tip the balance a bit more, however it's diminishing returns in terms of fuel saved versus time taken, plus parking is limited further out. I'd be happy to do a longer ride on the way home but don't really want to get up any earlier as it's already killing me..

On early shift I'm up at 3.45 am

I don't commute now because I'm done with the rat race thankfully but I used to do twelve miles a day on one of the busiest arterial roads into Birmingham City centre. It was bad enough back in the nineties but I wouldn't do it now for the best job on the planet - which it wasn't.

 

[HLaB]

I was going to get off the train early for my next commute, so I could get a decent cycle commute in, but the weather is turning 🌧️ & again, FFS (dont google that kids) so I'll probably stay on the train now and opt for the 4miles to the station and the 0.6 mile scoot round the giant carpark at the other end

 

[Regular.Cyclist]

7 miles into work and 8 back home. Different routes due to the way traffic develops thoughout the day.

 

[HLaB]

31.4miles round on Friday but only 9miles on Tuesday, I didn't like some of the roads on the long commute and I wasn't satisfied with the short one so I'll see what I do in future. Annoyingly my new office doesn't have overnight lockers so I'm lugging my laptop, change of clothes toiletries and towel. At the old office I was only lugging the laptop :-/

In answer to the OP question.....it depends on what you count as the starting point. It's a matter of a few metres from my bedroom to my study, but a few metres less than that from the kitchen.

 

[MrGrumpy]

On topic kinda but since I’ve retired the bike a couple of years ago I’m sorely tempted , to start cycling again ?! Traffic is busier again. The back into the office mantra is defo in full flow !

Just wonder if my knee could cope !?
