    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 have just seen an earlier
    I have just seen an earlier comment from me dated 2011 asking if this is the longest active blog going on since 2009. Well it is still going! But instead of a 28 mile round trip I now do a 42 mile round trip, almost every working day all year round, complete with over 1000 metres of climbing B-)
    It is nearly always the best part of my working day, particularly riding up the Arlington zig-zags to the sound of Woodpeckers B-)

    I’m currently trying to do my commute by bike, only managing 2-3 days a week at the moment.

    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.

    Roughly 28 miles each way and over the back of the South Downs Way. It can be a tough start to a Monday morning 😀

    3 days per week, 30km in from West Lothian to Edinburgh… but I’ll usually get the train home. On Tuesdays it’s to make it to the chain gang, and on other days I have football or laziness issues. Will do a couple of laps of Arthur’s Seat at least once a week before getting the train too.

    3 days a week I work in one location and it’s 1km. I just roll down the hill from my house to the town.

    The other 2 days it’s 12km as the crow flies but I usually extend this. Wednesday’s commute home was a wonderful 73km.

    I commute 15 – 18 miles to work, from Bishop’s Stortford to Hertford, bike road or trail usually 3 to 4 times a week. Moving more to trail so I don’t get run over by the idiots on the road. Use a Giant Talon 650 hardtail or my Kona Jake CX, so much off road fun and the routes I can vary considerably as with the distance.

    I have a feeling, and this is purely on people I know, but when they say 3-4 times an week. It is more like 2-3….at best.

    I heard of a Professor at Portsmouth Uni who lived in Lynmouth. Caught the ferry every morning across to Yarmouth on Isle of Wight, cycled full length of Isle of Wight to catch Ryde to Portsmouth ferry and cycled to the Uni. Not sure how far but definitely a great commute!! Must have taken hours though 😕

    I bike a pawltry 4 miles on Wed, Thur and Fri and eat the plant with a V8 Merc on Mon and Tues. Over the course of a week my petrol usage and carbon footprint is about the same as if I ran a fuel efficient car every day!! Can’t bike every day … children to deliver.

    12 miles each way, two or three days each week. Rural location, no street lights for 11 miles. Journey of two half’s, first six miles from home on main road, lorries ‘n all, fairly flat, just two small hills. Second half, through three small villages, one big hill; much more fun. Coming home on that main road, the last 3 miles are a very gentle up ramp – worst part of the journey!

    Between 12 and 20 miles for me. At least 4 days a week. Tends to be closer to 12 in the mornings (I like my bed!) then different routes on the way home. Like to mix up the route or it can get a bit mundane.

    7-10 miles each way depending on route. Knaresborough to Harrogate longer route takes back road to Ripley/ Beckwithshaw (scenic route). As often as possible depending on the need for a car during the day for meetings. Work colleagues think I am strange but I don’t care – love the bike! Just got a Hope Vision 1 for front and its awesome paired with a Cateye on strobe. Light it all up!

    15 miles each way 5-6 days a week, even when its icy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mlbx16tPo0&feature=feedu) (fixed+marathon winters), and especially when its lashing down with rain (I have a secret love of cycling in the rain) legs get twitchy on my days off so do a 15 mile circuit on off days. DRL exposure (front) and dinotte (rear) lights on 24hrs 12 months. (http://www.reelight.com/Files/Billeder/downloads/SUMMERY_OF_RAPPORT_UK.pdf)
