    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.

    7 miles on the heaviest hack
    7 miles on the heaviest hack bike ever and carrying panniers and Schwalbe marathon plus, a few good hills too.

    Good workout too stomping up a few climbs.

    Lets me keep up when riding with friends on weekends but using the roadbike then.

    Thing is I’m changing jobs and will miss this short blast-some on road, some on light gravel track, singltrack and back on road.

    It does have this really long walking speed hill (6mins at least) rest of the commute is not as hilly and takes 22 mins.

    our new office has extended the commute too! 4.5 miles on the shortest run but my fave is down to Monkton Combe, up Winsley hill and in through Conkwell, about 10 miles. luvverly.

    have moved offices at SGC now, working 2km closer to home but as the weather is nice I have made my commute all scenic! Up through Pucklechurch, round the back of Yate…30km each way now! Lovely

    with my new job I am doing
    with my new job I am doing 10miles each way, Balham to Canary Wharf via Tower bridge (I haven’t braved the Rotherhithe tunnel yet). It seems to be a competitive route. Time to clip in and get serious!

    I have cycled the 5 miles
    I have cycled the 5 miles each way to work and back for the last 10 years on my trusty Dutch Sparta. Some days I do an extra 5-15 miles on top of that, depending on appointments etc. I normally use the car for about 20% of all journeys but for the next 6 weeks will be totally bike-dependent(I live in the countryside with 2 teenagers).
    I am now addicted to my half-hour dose of fresh air and exercise in the morning and feel deprived when I don’t get it.

    Four miles each way West
    Four miles each way West London to Covent Gdn. Feeling a bit conspicuous at present as post the theft of an old wolf in sheep’s clothing of bike the very new looking replacement just hasn’t acquired any soul or personality or whatever it is that old loved bikes get.

    At the moment only about 5
    At the moment only about 5 miles each way normally! However I often have to work in other offices. One will mean a 25 mile each way & the other a 45 mile each way route (great for my sportive training – staying awake at work is another issue!!). Certainly not every day, and just waiting for the days to get a bit longer!!!

    Once a week, 38miles each way
    Once a week, 38miles each way in 2 and a quarter hours. But I cheat and break it up overnight. It’s harder going to work as there are 5 climbs steeper than 10% in the first 10 miles and another of 14% before halfway. Haven’t done it for months due to a back injury, so when I start again it will take me 2.5hrs and break my spirit.

    It is highly unlikely I will pass anyone else.

    North-west Edinburgh to
    North-west Edinburgh to Edinburgh Park on the western fringes. Every working day come rain, shine, wind and high water (usually all on the same day ha ha ha). En route, I tow the kids (in the trailer) to their Grandma’s on Wednesdays.

    Workward route varies depending on weather/mood/bike, but anything from 5 miles (via 40mph dual carriageway) thru 9 miles (on cycle paths and quiet streets) to my summer maximum of 26 miles on rural roads. Sometimes over Corstorphine hill on knobbly tyres. Generally speaking I arrive at work and just want to keep going.

    Homeward journey tends to be more mixed/direct/hurried, to make sure I’m home for the kiddies’ bedtime. 5-7 miles on a variety of trunk and suburban roads. I miss the post-work rides in the Pentland hills on warm summer evenings.

    I wish I could say it keeps me lean and fit. In fact, it lets me eat and drink too much without getting *too* house-sized.

    As I sometime drive to London (from Manchester) I take the bike in the boot. However I park at the far end of the carpark and ride into the office via a 22 mile excursion…..

    15km each way, from the centre of Milan (yes, Milan, Italy) to Trezzano sul Naviglio. Only 2 days a week at the moment (Tue and Thu), but hopefully will move up to 3 days a week soon.

    4 miles each way, near by
    4 miles each way, near by every day of the week and twice 10 extra miles each way to downtown.
    I prefer country roads and path through parks and narrow roads, as there is less traffic and fewer traffic lights than on main roads
