Will admit to not commuting by bike as often as I should. And the
waistline definitely shows it. It can be very nice for the 10.5 miles each
way. This time of year, will start seeing the sunrise by the time I get
near work. And almost to the point where I don't have to pack an entirely

My commute is .2 miles. I sometimes ride and pretend I have a 5 mile
commute by taking a loop if I haven't taken any lunch/weekend rides in a
few days.

Without a doubt, commuting by bike is the best part of my day. I seriously

I have about 9 miles each way. It's mostly downhill to work, and I
get a decent workout on the way home. I find riding to work is
especially good when I wake up still tired or groggy. The cool air
and the exercise help to wake me up better than the office coffee ever
will.

My commute ranges from 11.5 to 14 miles (one way), depending on the route I
take. I also have the option of swapping pavement for 1-4 miles of dirt
roads/trails. It took a fair amount of experimentation to come up with an
optimal bike and setup, but now that I have it nailed down, it's actual
My commute is just shy of 3 miles heading in, just shy of 4 miles
heading home (I ride a loop, and get a hill on the homeward stretch).
Between home and work are grocery stores, the bike store, places to
eat (all on the 3 mile route; the longer route is all neighborhoods).

Amen! My commute is 7 miles, 35-45 minutes depending on traffic and wind.
Most of my commute is on MUPs, which are really delightful in the morning,
though they get pretty busy on nice spring and summer days. Clothing
choices aren't an issue, in Boulder, even in summer, the temps in the

I have to say I did enjoy my all Brooklyn commute on my old Motobecane when
I was younger. But now living in South Brooklyn and working in Manhattan it
would be over an hour on the bike so it is easier to sit on the subway and
read. We are a no car family though so I do get alot of errand running a
Agreed. 4-5 miles for me each way; it takes me about 20 minutes by
bike, and about 15-20 minutes by car, given the vagaries of traffic,
lights, etc. If I don't have to leave the office during the day and
go someplace distant, I take the bike. Before we switched buildings,
I could bring my atlant

Who would have ever thought you could look forward to your commute! Even though
my 3 mile commute ride is only 15 minutes, it is still mentally and physically
invigorating.

I wish I could do a commute like yours.. that's about the perfect
distance to do daily at least at my age. Mine unfortunately is 25
miles one way and I can only manage it about twice a week in better
weather. Any more and it gets to be a grind. When I was younger I
could recover adequately but
