    OK, you have to do this regularly, it doesn’t count if you have cycled to work once or cycled past your work on a weekend jaunt plus you have to cycle back the same day to where you started from. Also it has to be current, not ‘back in the day’. It will be interesting to see if some of us cover the same route but have never met.

    I’m new to cycling to work. At the moment once a week I cycle all the way from home (Surrey) to work (London NW10), 22 miles each way. The rest of the week I get the train to Waterloo and cycle to work from from there, 7 miles each way. I am planning on cycling all the way more often.

    Have you tried the route via Redhills / Whitestone between Exeter and Crediton?

    8.5 miles each way. 5 Days a week. 334 days a year. No matter the weather I’m there on the bike, sometimes wondering if I’m a bit barking but loving it anyway.

    If I don’t commute by bike,
    If I don’t commute by bike, it just feels wrong. I do 7 miles each way every working day across the city of Glasgow from south to north.

    Rare exceptions where I haven’t ridden to work in the last year or so have been:

    Gale force winds over 40 mph (3 days)
    Post bone-breaking crash (7 weeks of torture)
    Post getting very pissed the night before (surprisingly only twice)

    19.5km each way, from the Coast to Toon, 5 days a week. Avoid the Coast Road cycle Path like the plague, and found the Walkergate, Wallsend, North Shields river side route much quicker and quieter (less traffic lights too).

    My base commute is a hilly
    My base commute is a hilly 5.5 miles into work, then a flatter 9.5 miles back

    Plus taking the office post to the postbox after work (adds another mile or so).

    Sometimes a trip to the supermarket after work too (adds another 2-4 miles, depending on which one).

    It’s sometimes the other way around, sometimes the longer route both ways, and sometimes the shorter route both ways.

    (Wow – this thread really got resurrected by the recent software glitch, didn’t it?)

    Mine varies depending on time
    Mine varies depending on time available. Normal morning commute is a 3.5km uphill blast from Leith to Waverley station, then the bike comes on the train with me to Bridge of Allan, from where it is a 6.5km ride to work. In the evenings I normally get off at Edinburgh Park and cycle home along the NEPN, which takes me up to 15.5km for the Edinburgh leg. However, if I have the time, I may ride to or from one of the intermediate stations, which can add quite a distance, and I’ll be working up to riding all the way home (74km) at least once per fortnight, and I’m aiming to ride to and from work once per month over the summer…

    20 miles each way on a monday/tuesday
    16 miles each way on a wed/thurs/fri as I park a bit closer to get back for the evening job.

    Exeter to Copplestone along the horrible A377.

    Are you talking traffic or poor surface? (or both) either way the A377 is not the worst road in Devon is it?
    I ride it when I fancy a flat ride (Barnstaple to Crediton), it seems not too bad when you do not have to share it with commuter traffic. Either way I am sure that Devon miles are longer than everyone elses :”(
