    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.

    About 13 miles round trip in London, adding cr*p drivers and poor air quality and the distance feels a lot longer certain days!

    At least 3 times/ week, usually 4 and occasionally 5.

    Trowbridge, Holt, Kingsdown, Bath A4 then Bishopsworth (Bristol) either A4 and ring road or cycle path(extra 5 miles).

    or

    Trowbridge, Norton St Phillip, Wellow, Combe Hay, Dunkerton, Priston, Chelwood, Dundry, Bishopsworth.

    Been doing this since April and am psyching up for the Winter…

    I’ll keep a look out for you, normally do Westbury, Trowbridge, Holt then onto Melksham to Devizes

    5.6 miles each way, but I often add to the outward journey, anything up to 10 miles in the morning…. This totals 60-70 miles of commuting a week 🙂

    I’ve commuted 2.5 miles each
    I’ve commuted 2.5 miles each way within Lancaster for the past 5 years, rain or shine, 90% of the route on a cycle path. I used to wish it was a bit longer so the journey could make an impact on my fitness.
    My new job starts next week, 26 miles away in Blackpool, one extreme to the other! I’m really going to try cycle it as much as possible to save fuel costs as well as to benefit my fitness. Fortunately it’s a very flat route, but I don’t think it will take a great deal of rain to persuade me to take the car!

    About 3 miles each way, uphill most of it on the way to work, which makes for a nice easy return home. On nice bright evenings, will take a longer route home of 5-8 miles depending on my mood.

    7.5km to primary place of work; 13.7km to the secondary site (about 2x per week, it’s a nicer ride, just means getting up a little earlier).

    My colleagues think I’m some kind of superhero, i think bizarrely.

    When I tell them it’s “only 3 miles between sites” they stop and think – a couple of them have even sorted themselves bikes!

    My commute is 9 miles each way. I go along Cycle Route 51 between Bedford and Sandy. Thinking of making it 18 each way a couple of times a week,from Flitwick to Sandy but I don’t have the right bike for the road journey!

    Is this the longest blog? Been going on since June 2009? But my commute 14 miles. Fantastic saved me loads of money and I ride along the Taw in North Devon rain or shine; my work colleagues think I am mad and this makes it even more fun!

    A monumental 3.5km per day to the station and back. I feel ashamed after looking at some of the distances here. It is on a fold up bike though – that must be worth an extra couple of hundred metres?!
