Commute distance.

SpinyUK

11.5 miles each way, every other day.

moonio

Around 24 miles every week day, Bromley to Clerkenwell

Feltup

10 miles each way but now it is getting dark I take the longer route home avoiding the dual carriageway which usually means 13 miles plus.

Moved house on Friday past and today is the first day of my new commute - 9 miles in and probably much the same back again - about 40-45 minutes I guess. Suburban roads for the most part, but into the city centre at the end.

1.2 miles. Its a lot more fun to ride than walk!

N0bodyOfTheGoat

About 5.5 miles... Must install the wireless Lidl computer I got a month or to back, so I can get a precise figure :shock:

25 miles around. Hilly. I can take a direct, busy and very unsatisfying direct 6 mile e/w commute when I'm knackered or late.

Have been up to about 40 miles around a couple of times in the past, but I found that too much without an easy option.

Can I claim the shortest commute - 2.5 miles each way?

No, sorry, someone else has an 0.69 mile commute!

Best pun I ever heard was in Shropshire. I dragged someone all the way to Ironbridge. After 5 minutes at this industrial wonder, they proclaimed, "This is riveting."

Well it is just a bridge after all... If you're ever in the area again there is a great cycle shop in Jackfields. They do free hot drinks if you turn up on two wheels.

Another short commute 1.87 miles. 5 days a week if possible depends if work sends me a broad.

Check it out http://www.mapmyride.com/route/gb/newto ... 7619814155

PS tick the elevation on the map, and look at my final climb.

Why, what do you do?

linsen

mine is just under 12 miles as I'm sure I have already posted, but I am trying to get all technically clever and put a link here to mapmyride so you can look at the elevations and either a) be impressed or b) think I'm a wimp for saying it's quite a tough one!

did it work?

It worked. That's similar to my commute, and thus must be extremely impressive.

I just noticed that you climb more than you descent on the round trip... You must be quite a long way up by now.

linsen

Hm yes I am currently the highest point in England

Curious that.

I won't tell everybody on this forum that I don't do it every day... Once or twice a week at the moment.

Blow, I just did tell everyone didn't I?

3.5 miles with a hill and lots of traffic and buses

or 3.5 miles with no hill and not as much traffic, but an absolutely cr*p road surface :evil:

or anything upwards of 10 miles if I go the scenic way - Sefton Park, Calderstones Park, leafy suburbs of Woolton, Otterspool Prom, Riverside Walkway, right to the doorstep of work... lovely

Kaydee

About 5 miles gently downhill to Salford Quays in the morning, then a slightly less gentle :oops: (or it seems that way to me) uphill back to sunny Crumpsall in the evening.

pinnacleroadie

I do a 9 mile each way commute to Reigate 5 days a week which is mostly along quite busy A roads. If I am feeling fit then I can increase it to 18 miles each way with a little detour via the scenic route!

I wish there were more other cyclists on my route so I could participate in SCR and have more fun, but I rarely see anyone else on their bike.

Come with me back to the early 80s. We were in a pub idly looking at a picture on the wall of some local villain that the police wished to speak to. Someone mused 'he looks like the singer from Men At Work'. Response: 'hmmm - who can it be now?'

TRADESIZE

first post! so greetings

I do a 20 mile round trip on each day i take my bike to work st george - aztec west in Bristol. I am doing 2-3 days at the moment but am looking to bulid that up to everyday.

I had almost cracked doing 5 days a week non stop in June, but then our second son was born and I just couldn't get back into it after 2 weeks off work.

I started off commuting to work on a 7 year old giant boulder mountain bike with a frame too small, but i bite the bullet about 7 months ago and bought a new giant escape with the bigger wheels and the differnce between the new and old bike was amazing.

anyways nice to join the forum, I am sure it will be super useful

125 miles this week. I work monday to wednesday and the trains are off on the Bathgate line. Took one Glasgow Central train out this week to Addiewell. Slept well last night. Pigged out on chocolate tonight but its all OK with that mileage. Only 15 miles today doing nothing at home.

After 8 months of walking the 1.5 miles to work I finally decided last week to start cycling.... the scenic way. I'm very lucky to live close to the Peak District so my commute takes me from Sheffield, into the Peaks and then back into the city again. I'm doing 11 miles each way at the moment (with a healthy 300m of ascent each way) which takes about 45mins and is I think ideal for the winter months. The weird thing is that it now feels like I work in a different city to where I live....

londonlivvy

11 miles each way, most days - though I bailed today after an ambitious week last week of too many miles. If there was less traffic I think I'd enjoy it more - sometimes it just feels like a slog.

cj504

14.5 each way with two proper hills (for lincs anyhow) 40 mins each way. Really noticing it when riding with others (the fitness - i'm wooping them )

The cold this morning though!

Hey everyone!

8 miles each way for me from south manchester into the city. almost totally flat all the way and heavy traffic most times - but its still enjoyable (mostly!)

vorsprung

16 miles in and 14 miles back
1 hour 10 in and 1 hour back
The route in has more hills but less traffic. Dunno the total climb I'll have to put it in bikely sometime

Hangie

12 miles each way

9 miles Rural, 3 miles in urban.

One hill (140') en route and a bus to race if I leave on time!
