9 miles on the road bike each way, or 10 miles xc along the Thames and through Reading,. The record is 28minutes, at 6am with no green lights or much traffic in the middle of summer.
Drive in once a week and take clean clothes shower at work, bike the other 4. I can do a nice route back of about 12 miles or as long as a can justify, more likely in the summer.
Someone told me that in additon to the saving on petrol, a tax break of 20p a mile can be claimed if you commute by bike. Anyone know about that? ❓
