Commute distance.

mashtonian · February 2007

5 miles each way, give or take half a mile for route changes: it's a bit shorter when I decide I want to take on the traffic rather than go through the park :-)

ed_m · February 2007

19miles each way .... twice a week at present.

Shall we have a pi55ing competition, we could have different categories e.g. how high, how far, volume etc.

Girls can stand one foot in front of the line in the distance category. [:0]

4 and a bit miles each way. part urban, part rural main roads. might go through prestbuty for the hills in summer if i can get my arse out of bed earlier.

aim is to average 20mph for the whole trip but rush hour traffic puts a stop to it[:(]

and boy am i glad of a warm shower when i get to work[:)]

if i had a better signature, i'd use that instead

James_Uings · February 2007

16 miles each way.

Embankment Express · February 2007

30 miles each way. Or rather, 30 miles in - train home - sleep - train in - 30 miles home, on alternate days. It would be too knackering otherwise, esp with all those sprints through London.

Flycatcher · February 2007

10 miles each way. Two big hills in, three home.

Cup of tea, I now get your siggy!

fungus the bogeyman · February 2007

21 or 27 miles each way, but not commuting by bike at the mo:-(

i want an allotment!

Dayvo · February 2007

About 5 miles eeach way, although in the afternoon (when I'm done for the day) I sometimes make a detour of 15-20 miles, depending on the wind/weather. The more the better.

I get knocked down . . . but I get up again . . .

garethe · February 2007

8.4 flat miles each way unless the sun is shining
best bits are the minor inclines at the end

joebe · February 2007

13 miles each way what ever the weather

I'm on the pista again

Unknown · February 2007

used to be 6 each way. Now I'm looking at 17 each way but this seems very daunting and yet to be done.

Unknown · February 2007

6 - 7.5 miles each way depending on which office I go to. I'm off work just now and missing my commutes.

Most days...

craigl · February 2007

10 miles each way on a lazy day & just over 20 each way on those days when I feel energetic

graham_g · February 2007

Just a smidge short of 6 miles each way.

Unknown · February 2007

53 miles round trip, Liverpool to Bolton and back. Only once a week though

velocitizen · February 2007

14.5 Miles in, 1 Mile home

meddy · February 2007

Hi Swanny ,

just over 5 miles each way...usually 20 mins each way

Hairy Jock · February 2007

Congratulations, Swanny, on getting a sticky with your first post!

My commute is 6.75km out, 6.68km home (slightly different route on the way home). My tip is always to quote it in Km it makes it look longer. My ride is surprisingly flat for Edinburgh, but most of the up hill is on the way home, which is also west and north, fun when wind is blowing...

simoncp · February 2007

8.8 miles there, but 8.9 miles back because of some one way streets.

stowler · February 2007

46 miles there and back! Uphill into the wind there, blown back. Portobello to Livingston. ( 1.25 there is my best time including all lights slow traffic etc, a bit faster being blown back) But I haven't done it this year yet. Excuses are Flu, Kids, and Pitch Black Roads. Hence some dread about doing 105km Tour of East Lothian this Sunday. Should manage the commute Monday or Tuesday next week hopefully, and then seldom more than once a week (the kids again). Very occasionally 3 times per week - which really knackers me for my Saturday club ride.

ScottDougall · February 2007

24.8 miles each way on my fixie

I bought a <s>fixie</s> a couple of years ago, it was squashed, by a BMW driver on the phone, so I got <s>another</s> one then that one too was destroyed, by a fat white van driver, so I got another but that one too has now been damaged, by a guy in an estate car not looking. Sometimes commuting sucks.

J.Y.Kelly · February 2007

13.7 miles each way, most days.

cupofteacp · February 2007

Would you call someone who rode to work once a month a cycle commuter?

What about once a week, or three times a week?

Do you need to cycle to work 5 days a week to be called a cycle commuter?

What do people think?

If it is a way of getting to work on a regular basis, it is commuting, so if it is once a month every month, yes. For someone who only goes into the office 3 days a week, then that is commuting. Porty to Livingston is a serious commute by anyones standards.

singlespeedexplosif · February 2007

11.5km each way (on the road) three times weekly (then get the train for the second, busier, 'skittle alley' part of the journey); 24km each way (along the canal door to door) twice per week.

Hoping to up the 'full commute' more once the weather starts improving and I'm not turning up to work head to toe in finest Pennine mud and dogmuck...

highway star · February 2007

10 miles round trip 3 days a week. Itused to be 5 days until Mrs HS wanted me to pick up HS junior from school 2 days a week. Not practical to do that by bike.

I know I ain't doin' much........ doin' nothing means a lot to me

cupofteacp · February 2007

Hairy I not having a go, sorry if you felt like that.

But....

If you work 3 days in an office and ride a bike 1 day and drive 2 surely your a car driver as thats your mode of transport for the majority of time?

If you cycled to the train station everyday then caught the train to work what would you be?

Is it more important what you feel you are rather than how much?
