Used to be 7 miles each way now it’s 2.5 each way been doing it on my Downhill bike this week 😀 as the Enduro is in at the shop 🙄

Cycled for 15 years. The distance varied between 2.5 and 18 miles each way depending where I was living. The 18 miler was for about 6 months, the average was about 6 miles. It was nice having a short ride if the weather was bad but being able to extend it on the way home if you felt like it.

As said above, there’s a big difference between wanting to and having to. Riding all winter in crap weather real put me off riding for fun. But the hard winter miles pay off in the summer for fitness.

11 mile each way, yet to find any flat sections.

150km on mondays and fridays

15 miles each way with 1200-1300 ft of climbing. They don’t do ‘flat’ in east Lancs.

Thats if I do it on the road. But I’m in the enviable position of having a choice of brilliant off-road routes home (I can even include a quick lap of Cragg Quarry in my route!), so regularly tag on a good few miles. As I will be doing later 😀 Whack the tyre pressures on the hardtail right up for the road journey in. Let some out as I head off-road in the evening

I try for 2-3 times a week. Though last winter was so grim, it finished off my motivation altogether 🙁

OOPS: nearly forgot the obligatory ‘look at my commute! Aren’t you jealous?’ picture. Apoligies….

Evening ride through Edenfield by binlidski, on Flickr

15-ish miles each way, 2 or 3 times a week. Would do it more, but I enjoy other stuff (football, rugby) which my ol’ legs won’t me combine in the same day!

5 miles in, anywhere between 5 and 30 miles home dependent on mood and weather. Only tend to do it in the dry and when not on site.

15 miles each way through London everyday around an hour depending on the wind and which bike I’m riding. It’s flat & boring but Richmond and Hyde Parks brighten it a bit.

Will do it till the clocks go forward then reassess how dangerous it is in the dark!

10 miles each way at the moment. Nice and easy compared to my old occasional commute – 33 miles each way, with a few hill passes on the way in and a constant ascent with the horseshoe pass thrown in for good measure on the way home.

‘look at my commute! Aren’t you jealous?’

Yes. Yes I am.

Varies but usually 40km round trip, but the full 130km round trip with approx 1000m vertical if time and energy and weather allow (not very often) – its a lovely ride.

Sounds exactly what i am contemplating !!

Posted to RAF Leuchars and apparently there are married quarters in Cupar.

Ah right! Mine will be Dundee to St Andrews, via Tayport. As fasthaggis mentions the road from Cupar to Leuchars does get quite busy and it is a fast road, but its fast on the bike too. And if you don’t fancy it/fancy some hills there are a few other ways that make is quieter and more interesting.

1 mile to my son’s school
0.2 miles round the corner to the office.
1 mile home.

epic.

🙂

At one time I (stupidly) used to do 46km (road) with about 600m of climbing (on the way in, reversed on the way home) either side of a day in a sawmill. That was the direct route – I never wanted to extend it much as I was pretty much always knackered. Then I did about 6km that I could do on fun off road and extend as far as I liked (and run or xc ski when the snow was good in the winter). Nowadays I mostly either work from home or have about 5km bimble either way.

On road and 100k and 1500m climbing minimum – up to 130k/1800m and beyond if weather/family allow…. from Dark to White Peak, really great ride too… try and do 2/3 a week but did manage every day for 9 weeks a couple of years ago.

Somewhere between 45 and 70 mile round trip depending on the mood I am in. Today will he straight in and straight home again as I have been struck with the snots so that’s just a 45er.

I moved last week and now have a lovely 20 mile round trip along the Tyne on cycle paths. The perfect unwind at the end of a day at work.

67 mile round trip but I only do it on a Friday as I can wear what I want and we finish at 1PM.

Either 6 or 8 miles in and the same back or sometimes up to 20 if I go through Epping Forest

basically all flat

no wonder I’m still fat

1.1 miles door to door. If I’m feeling awake I might take the ‘hilly’ option (c.75 metres of climb), if not (and it’s usually not) it’s a quick blast along the sea front! 🙂

28 miles each way. Once or sometimes twice a week weather dependent. Helps as it is through the Dales. 🙂

Harrogate to Skipton

26 mile round trip on a single speed road bike mostly B roads
dont encounter much traffic do this 5 days a week all year
It can at times be a grind but most of the time its the highlight of my day
arrive home stress free …love it

Recently been getting up at 5am to ride in two or three days a week to maximise riding time on lovely quiet back roads. 28miles with 1700ft of climbing in about 1.5hours. Feel brilliant all day and get the train home to play with the kids. I also have off road routes which take over 2 hours. I’m not interested in riding home as if I have time for that I can do something more interesting… like ride better places as on the other days of the week.

Not sure how this will hold up through the winter as the route I do is very exposed.

I love my commute, 25 quiet miles each way in some lovely countryside. A couple of hefty hills help the fitness and to be honest the commute has stopped me looking for a job elsewhere. Do it two or three times a week and miss it on a car day.

I mostly drive it… But when I do ride it’s 26 miles each way – on the way there it’s mostly on road, on the way back it’s mostly off road (downs link).
I’d do it every day if I could, but child/family commitments mean that wouldn’t be possible!

DrP

My commute is only 0.4 miles each way.

18 fantastic sunny, off-road miles home (2000ft of climbing), including a lap of Cragg and a 3 mile descent to finish, through some very overgrown singletrack.

I took some pictures for Dezzy, as I know he likes to see me enjoying myself 😀

60 mile round trip 3 to 4 times a week. Great start to the day and gets the miles in. Will vary frequency if racing at the weekend but in the winter its great for the base.
