how far is your commute

About 1 km, so unless I need to do it in 5 minutes rather than 10 for
some reason or I'm popping in briefly out of hours I generally walk.
It's a convenient distance and quiet enough roads that I sometimes use
it for unicycle practice.

I am slowly but surely building myself up to commuting to work it is about
25 miles away with the first 15 being fairly hilly (mostly uphill) and the
last 10 being flat 'ish'. I start work at 7 and work a 12 hour day so i will
be waiting for some fairer weather also.

2.5 miles into uni. Just started looking for a part time job and thinking
about something a bit further away so I get some enforced exercise <prods
stomach>. Not sure I'd like to do your 25 miles. Still, when you're doing
it regularly, replacing those calories back be fun. mmmmmm c-a-k-e..

27 km round trip, except most Mondays, when Matters Arising bump it up to
40.

Just find a world that's into that kind of thing, then chain to the
floor and walk up and down on it in high heels. (Mr. Sunshine)

That sound very tough. A 12 hour day followed by what could be a two hour
ride home. Hats off to you, Sir.

34 miles (each way). Thankfully almost totally flat miles (except for
half a dozen bridges) along reasonable cycle paths. Only take the
trike 3 days a week, and the car the other 2 , or I'd have to go to
bed by the time I get home.
The weather is not much of a problem since the trike is fully faired,
but riding for almost 2 hours, standing on my hind feet for 8 and then
riding another 2 is. I usually need half the return journey to get up
to speed again; good thing most racing cyclists appear in the second
half <grin>.
And yes, with this kind of mileage you can eat everything!

When I don't have to wear a suit I cycle, and it's about 28 - 30 miles
round trip. As it's through London, it's much quicker than driving.

I leave the house just before 5.30am (difficult this time of year!). On
a good day with a tail wind I can be showered and at my desk for 7am, on
a bad day 7.10am. Coming home I try to get out of the office by 3.30pm,
it takes me 15 minutes to get changed and get to my bike, I am usually
home around 5.30pm.

It's tough sometimes, I don't mind admitting, especially getting up at
that time. But always, by the time I've been in the saddle for 10
minutes I'm glad I do it. I feel fantastic by the time I get to work,
and absolutely ravenous...I eat straightaway and then go for breakfast
again at 9am. I get a bit tired sometimes just before I'm due to leave,
but I get a second wind once I'm on the bike, and crack on home. I eat
well, and sleep well on my bike commute days!

But a good idea. Cycling burns off any stress induced adrenaline from
work which is very good for your health plus it puts a barrier between
work and home which means you don't take all your work issues home with
you. Result, happier and healthier home life.

7.1 miles from yeovil to sherborne. I work a nightshift 4 nights per
week. Drive in monday night, cycle home, then back and forth via cycle
for two nights and then finally cycle in thursday night and drive home
friday morning to a nice long weekend where I continue my lazy
lifestyle of dvd watching and video games generally. Journey time is
about 30-35 minutes going to work but about 25 minutes going home.
Looking forward to getting back to it once I've fixed my rear wheel.

3.7 miles to work down hill usually with a following wind in about 15 min,
the return in about 25 min on the MTB. The same time on the Windcheetah due
to having to go a longer route to avoid obstacles at the start of a shared
cyclepath.
