as soon as I can afford a folding bike Im going to be riding it 3 miles each way to temple meads station and then a return journey from wherever I need to go to my office and back (my work base changes daily)
I do about 5 miles each way 3 times a week. Yesterday I took a 30 mile wrong turn on the way home!
I alternate between road bike and hard tail.
I do the cycle route 66/69, if I am feeling lucky, on the way home, which is 13 miles, and do a train/bike journey to work which is uphill about 2.5 miles.
Once I am fit nuff, then its a 25 mile round trip along hilly huddersfield/dewsbury/ossett.
I commute by bike from Kilmarnock to Glasgow which is 20 miles each way. Normally do it 4 times a week as I usually work from home 1 day. Usually do it on my own but occasionally meet people in summer, never see anyone else in winter though.
16 mile round trip; the best time of the day as well as being with my family.
5 miles each way, e2 to n7, every day unless I run it instead. keep wishing I had further to ride every day, can never quite get up early enough to take the scenic route...
Six miles each way from Hazelbank to the centre of Belfast. Everyday. Unless I take in Cave Hill on the Mtbike. That is about thirteen miles. Good days on the KTM (or Marin Wolfridge) and bad days on the On-One Inbred SS.
I hate driving.
Twenty mile round trip every day, all year round. Bike used depends on which shift, type of weather, time of year. Work six days on, three rest days. On rest days, usually out on the road bike every day. Also just started in a mtb club, after 40 years being a dedicated 'roadie'.....
My office is 16 miles away and that includes a section of dual carriageway so I'm afraid I generally either take the train (and cycle across the park to the station) or use my motorbike. I used to commute 10 miles across London to my old job and getting their by bicycle was quicker than taking the tue or using the motorbike I had then.
8 miles in, 7 miles home, although there are various routes to combat boredom, my Tuesday evening route home is 14 miles and takes in Fulham, Richmomd Park and Twickenham...
Starts in Isleworth and ends in White City...
have just started cycling in to the City.. using the train to Waterloo but I'd like to try the whole distance.. would it be possible to tell me what route you take in please.. thanks
The London Cycling Campaign (LCC) have free maps highlighting safe cycle routes through the city. Get them from here.

10 miles a day, five days a week... plus Flatland when I can! Mainly country roads, with a nice sprinkling of city traffic nearer work... I love playing with the traffic!
8 miles each way through the Shrewsbury or or 10 round the (much nicer) country lanes. I wimp out if it's raining hard, only skipped two of the really icy days last winter.
The traffic on the town route is not cycle-friendly, there are a significant number of drivers who just can't bear to wait 20 seconds behind a bicycle (and then slow up behind a car a few yards further on).
Where are traveling from?
My commute is 48.3 miles R/T with a 1650' climb in both directions (Total a little over 3300'/day). Total commute time R/T is usually about 3 hours. I ride this 2-3 days a week. I LOVE IT!!!
Is that in New Mexico?
Yes it is! Beautiful riding weather about 350 days a year. Right now it's raining cats and dogs!! But still a beautiful place.
18m each way 3 or4 times a week. Would like to try 5 a week (like my veg) but come Friday either bike or I am knackered! Surbiton - Richmond Pk - Putney - Kings Rd - Embankment - Meat Market - Islington although sometimes do the return on the South Bank alongside Festival Hall if the traffic from Blackfriars is chocca. Early doors is the best bet otherwise you run the risk of the heavy commuter traffic from Putney. Anyone had experiences re mobile bike servicing? Used BikeADE a couple of times - very good and economical and come to your office - a new shop Mend-a-bike has sprung up near Putney - think I might look at them for on the fly repairs - any experiences here?
Howabout bike models - am on an old Trek SU300 which is on last legs - I reckon road bikes are too fragile for me - looking for a 'long fast rider' - suggestions welcome!
I ride 10 miles (including some serious hills ) into Winchester, get on the train to London and then do another 2 miles to the office. Same on the way home.
If I'm feeling knackered or time is tight, I can take a shorter 7 mmile ride to Eastleigh which is mostly flat / downhill.
Trying to do this 4-5 times a week. Have covered around 500 miles already since starting this in April. Meeting some other keen cyclists on the train. Might look at some sportive events next year.
Around five miles each way for me, 1 mile thru' a housing estate, then nice country lanes the rest. I do this 5 days a week, some days I go a longer way round, depending on my finish time and the weather. I have been known to do 40 miles home on occasion!(very understanding mrs) Dinner's in the microwave!
I now commute about 20km each way so about 1 and a half hours of riding (due to bristols lovely rush hour traffic) per day.
approx 18 miles each way, on average 4 days a week, no shower at week though so a "wet wipe" wash to keep co workers happy!
various routes Staffs / South Derbyshire area.
oh, "Hi" i guess as first post
cheer
si
At least 32 miles a day, 5 days a week from Westbury to Devizes. The traffic is terrible in Devizes so I'm only 10 minutes slower by bike than car
3 miles each way on my big cogged fixie, cycle it 3 times a week and run the other 2.
13.5 miles each way - in and out of Cambridge.
Do it 4 days out of 5 each week (at the moment).
Wait & see whether I can keep this up through the winter!
22 and 18m each way; about 3x a week. Fantastic for base fitness and weight loss. I'm up in the Scottish Borders and the biggest dangers are gravel after heavy rains, horse and cow sh1t (have the scars to prove it) and spooking deer by the side of the road.
More people cycling in the office recently so I'm not the only one mincing about in cleats and lycra. So far this year have remembered underwear everyday - no white sports socks with work suit or going commando.
Days are getting shorter so will soon switch to MTB rig with tons of lights on the front.
Manchester-based, I commute from Flixton to the city centre each day. 7.5 miles in, hitting Chester Road in Stretford and following it all the way in. Slightly longer on the return, turning off into Trafford Park at White City Retail Park.
Five days a week, every week. Vitus 979 until the dead of winter, then the MTB and the long trousers come out.
13 miles each way 5 days a week, except for on call weekends which makes it 12 days in a row Torrance to Gartnavel Gen Hosp.
I've recently started to commute around 13 miles each way from Chorlton in South Manchester to Oldham.
The route is resolutely uninspiring (with Oldham Road being a particular low point!) and uphill most of the way in the morning (not the best for an early start), but it still beats driving in rush hour traffic hands down!
