July has been the first complete month that our in-house cycle to work scheme has been operating and the majority of those who have taken part have been keeping a log of the number of miles covered. Rather astonishingly between us have covered 1000 miles. Not a massive figure, but for 8 of us, some of whom hadn’t ridden a bike in the last 25 years until 5 weeks ago, we’re quite pleased.
1000 miles
At 20 mph* average speed = 50 hours sat in a car
At 14p* per mile fuel = £140
In distance = Manchester to Slovenia
*please don’t argue with the figures, I’ve made them up and that is not the point of the thread 😉
So, [b]today - July 29th -[/b] how many miles will the Singletrack massive have done [b][i]just commuting[/b][/i] (not interested in “playing out” miles) to work on their bikes? I’ll tot up the figures this afternoon and equate it to a distance and a cost saving.
I’ll start.
12 miles.
12 here
Ignore, I misread the post.
7, but 1 of those was electrically assisted up a steep hill.
7 miles in so far
Harry_the_Spider are you going to come up with some scale of distance covered, like the trillion $ thread yesterday?
😉

Yes. I'm going to equate the fuel cost to Gregg's pasties.
Arse. Drove in this morning as I'm picking the beloved up on the way home
Can I include my 90 commuting miles so far this week though? And also the shocking confession that.... erm..... *whispers* .... I'm actually quite enjoying the road bike. Don't tell anyone though 😀

Not in work today. So that's a big fat 0.
Working from home this morning, but walking 20miles this afternoon to get to the pub/sleep in a field this afternoon/evening
doesnt count really, does it?
0 i have to take the car to work. 🙁
A big fat zero here as well. Not been on a bike since Thursday of last week, actually. 🙁
Still, it's late on a Friday now and time to get ready to go and have a cold beer at the poolside bar. So that makes up for it. 🙂
4 total here and back.
38 today, cycled home last night left car at work, cycled in this morning.
0, day off innit.
8.5 in to work up to now.

4.75 miles each way, 5 including going home via Scotmid and the beach.
0.6m downhill. Not really worth getting the bike out, and the worst bit was I couldn't be bothered to go home and get my keys when I got to work and realised I had forgotten them.
My commute is (was) 18 miles each way. However today I've not ridden at all since today I just couldn't be bothered and it's my last day 🙂
12 this morning.
3.
7 so far, but I have another 20 miles to go.
3.5 (the .5 is everything).
I may extend my commute home a bit though...to 75 🙂
my commute is approx 20 miles each direction, its a pretty flat ride so not too bad
23 so far
Bah. Why can't people just say how many miles they will do? Couldn't give an arse how many they would do if they weren't driving or going home via the ****ing ing chippy or Shropshire (Dave 😉 )!
How many miles will you do today commuting on your bike?
Total.
There and back.
Door to door.
