    Currently 25 miles each way – by car, never done it on bike. All being well a new job and relocation means it should be 5 or 6 miles each way in a few months time – which sounds like a nice distance for riding in and back!

    Car – 23 miles each way. 40 mins to 1 hour 15 mins depending on traffic.
    Bike – 17.5 miles each way. 1 hour +/- a few minutes depending on weather (wind!). Try and do this 3 times a week.

    40 miles a day, across London. 128 sets of traffic lights each way. Joy.

    15.9 miles each way. Normally 3 times a week as I play other sports on the days I don’t ride – i’d be in bits if I did it every day, plus other stuff & riding at the weekend too.

    I can’t seem to ride it ‘slow’ no matter how hard I try. I’d love to cruise in and home in around an hour, but it’s never happened yet. Broke under the 45 min barrier recently, but it hurt. A lot.

    Depends what shift I’m working that week.
    6am – 2pm average around 70 miles/ week
    2pm – 10pm average around 100m/ week
    10pm- 6am average around 0m / week ( I go in the car)
    Not to bad considering it’s only 3miles to work if I go straight there.

    Currently about 10 metres but it used to be a 15 mile each way cycle on the road or a 20 mile each way cycle by towpath.

    Seven miles there and back, dodging dog walkers on the boring sustrans bike motorway, or nineish miles of proper trail, guess which I prefer!

    My commute has changed somewhat from earlier in the year. Then.. 3miles to station, 1.5 miles to office & repeat..
    Now.. Nothing, all by car and train. Has to be said.. I miss the bike.

    Small 16mis each way.
    Medium 18mls each way
    Large 20mls each way.

    Combinations of med/large over spring/summer and small/med in autumn/winter.
    Monday-Friday. Apart from depths of winter.
    They are quiet scenic routes and I never forget how lucky I am .
    I love my commute 🙂

    10 miles each way, every day. 50% road, 50% Taff trail through Cardiff. Can do the journey quicker on the bike than I can in the car (and yes I stop at red lights!) 😀

    35 miles each way. I’d ride it but I can’t be arsed with that especially with early shifts. I spend so much on petrol. Would love a short commute, but not in my current job location!

    7 miles each way, which is pretty much perfect. Takes less than 30 mins on the SS and is mostly on bike path. I count myself lucky.

    About three miles each way, mostly on traffic free purpose built cycleways. 🙂

    19.5 miles to work
    20 home (avoid busy road)

    At the moment I’m only doing one way, and getting the train home which trims 15-16 miles off the return leg.

    Mine is 24 miles each way. Only do it from April to July three times a week, any more and I am to tired to go out a club run or do any mountain biking at the weekend.

    Pretty busy trunk road, so it’s not the nicest journey.

    GrahamS you are one luck man.

    5 and a half on the road. Just over 6 off road. However, I usually get tempted to take detours off road, so it can end up closer to 7 or 8.

    Cheers, I know 😀

    Closeness to that route was a major plus point when we were looking for a house.

    It’s also why I’m so keen on proper off-road provisions for all cyclists* – I wouldn’t be riding to work if I had to chance it on the A-road and I suspect neither would most of the people I see on it.

    .

    (* as well as, not instead of, proper on-road provision of course)

    ive only cycled my commute a couple of time. 56 mile round trip and 6000ft of climbing means its not really an everyday thing…

    About a mile, it’s not worth getting the bike out really. The childminders run is about a 3 mile round trip twice a week and its easier to put hoppy jr in the bike trailer than the car.

    Anything between 13 steps & 250 miles this week.
    None on the bike though.

    Man up, that sounds fine, split in half, less than 2 hours per journey, great way to start the day! Do it one day, drive/train home, ride in/train home. That’s what I do when I ride all the way to London.

    i’ve done it like that in the summer, but dartmoor gets a bit wild for that in the winter…
