    Well, I wake up, make make coffee, have a shower, and I'm there. Don't
    even have to park bike. It never moved.

    Well your commute sucks! ;-) No time on the bike.

    You wouldn't believe how many times I've been late..

    Sounds like a speed issue to me... Fabrizio would never be late (well,
    if he actually held a job during the riding season, that is).

    Seattle, downtown to downtown. 3 miles round trip. (downhill both
    directions!!)
    Mountain bike. 12 hour shifts vary I'm on the road at about 4:30AM
    and 5:30 PM

    Please explain the "downhill both directions" part. Sounds like a good
    basis for perpetual motion.

    Maybe it's time for a titanium coffee pot?

    A friend just bought a cool new Pegoretti -- the model name is "8:30 AM." This
    is what time Mr. Pegoretti starts work. I'm sure Fabs would have 50 miles in by
    that time though.

    Simple actually, there are some elevators on the Seattle water front.
    I live two blocks above the water front and work on the water. so,,,,
    when I come home from work I take the elevator up the hill and coast
    down Western to my condo.

    (If I wasn't so lazy I could make my commute uphill in both
    directions)

    2. Toronto

    usually ride 50 Km (approx 30 miles) to work and then go

    Riding in definitely gives me an attention/focus/alertness advantage
    over pretty much all the non-riders in the morning.

    I don't know, I felt like I was snoozing on the bike this morning, the way
    everyone was passing me.

  12. Huntsville, Alabama. Morning and evening, touring bike. 6 miles in,
    unless it's nice, in which case it's 9 miles, unless it's really nice
    and I don't have a meeting, when it may be 12 miles. 6-8 miles home.
    Most days. Sometimes a bit longer.

    What's that yellow thing up in the sky?

    Not so, not so!

    In fact, I think I'll talk to the city. If Seattle can get elevators,
    I deserve at least an escalator for the big hill coming home!

    They have staircases instead of sidewalks.

    Chicago
    3.5 miles each way
    8:30 a.m. 6:30 p.m. most days
    Touring bike (Cannondale T800)

    Something unusual about my commute is that the garage where I park opens
    off the lowest level of a three level street. Navigating between levels is
    something you don't get to do everywhere.

    When you live in a city with hills as steep as Seattle's, you can have
    municipal elevators, too.
