How far for you?
My 14 non-motorway-miles journey could soon turn into 27 mostly motorway miles...by choice...just wondered what people do on average.

75 miles each way as a minimum, more if I'm out and about. A lot different to the 50m walk I had six months ago.

Cruise control and long audiobooks ftw.

Short route is just shy of 3 miles, country road and busy B road.

The route I take (on bike) is 5 miles and all country roads.

I work from home mostly but go to London one day a week, sometimes two.
That entails a 13 miles on the scooter, 120 miles on the train (2hrs) and then another 3 miles on the bike I keep at Paddington.

I use to do 45-50 miles into West London, took just less than an hour on the m/c whatever the time and between 1 and 2 hours in the car, depending on time. Public transport took longer.

I now cover 6 miles in 9 minutes 🙂

1 mile. It's nice to walk to work but I miss sitting in the car and listening to the radio to be honest

I used to do a 40-50 minute drive. Dropping to a 10 min cycle was a massive breath of fresh air. Now work from home which is even better. You'd have to drag me kicking and screaming to a 27 mile journey.

30 miles, mainly motorway, about 45mins 'cos I drive like Miss Daisy's chauffeur to save diesel, (and what's the rush?, I'm only going to work 😀 )

Or 15 drive and 12.5 ride a couple of times a week. Brilliant.

Currently 7 miles on road, 6 off-road, generally bike or run it.

Anything up to about 10 miles or so is a good bike commute IMO. Racing snakes might handle a bit further - but you can always add a detour to a short ride, harder to shorten a long one!

I drove to work for a few months in my first job, just cos I didn't really think about it...11 flat miles was an easy cycle, or 25 when I got bored with the job and wanted a longer ride!
