I'm curious. I'm new to this forum and I was wondering what the typical mileage for most of you guys is. I am assuming you commute daily right? Just wondering; this is an interesting forum. Thanks.

BTW, mine is about 25 miles round trip each day in the *good* weather months.

I've got a 21km (13mi) round trip, and while it's been in the reasonable weather months so far I plan to push my definition of "reasonable" as far as I can, and try some winter cycling this year.

Ah, the repost "nazis" are out, it seems. Be kind to the no0b, for s/he does not know the extent of his/her no0bishness. :)

That being said... this thread is about any distance, not just a pi55ing contest like in the other thread. ;)

Me? For the moment, about 17 miles RT. Might go up to around 25 if the company really does move (looks fairly certain).

Wow, am I the only lunatic who commutes 85 miles round trip? Of course, I only ride 2, maybe 3 days if I can muster it - got to take clothes and food in sometime!

If I were to commute from home my round trip would be 52 miles.

I can however drive to my in-laws and then ride from there, my round trip is only 22 miles or so.

I have not yet commuted, still working on all the gear I need and making sure I am ready for it

mine is 60 miles round trip but I do it 4 or 5 times a week, so we probably do similar weekly milage.

I'm averaging around 250 miles a week commuting, and about 100 miles a week on weekends.

Hi - I'm new to this sub-forum (usually hang out over at MTBing) and new to commuting. Decided to put slicks on my mountain bike and ride to work on the days I can. My round trip is somewhere between 45 and 50 km (estimating based on what maps.google.com gives me).

During the school year, 1 mile round trip, but I come home for lunch, so 2 miles altogether. Then I ride 17 miles round trip to my second teaching job. Altogether I get in about 30 miles per day with additional riding. On the weekends I do a long ride so I try to get in 200 miles per week.

I'm getting back into commuting - and doing exactly the same as you Dewbert. Though, my round trip is 40 miles. Haven't quite worked up to there and back in the same day. I think I'll soon be ready though - I got home tonight and was not very tired at all, and the ol' legs and butt weren't even too sore!

My commute is 41 km round trip, 5 days a week, every day of the year (or at least try to). And I go out for about an hour on the singletracks near my house then wherever we feel like riding on the weekend (on or off-road). Seems like all I do is bike but if I miss one ride, I go crazy!
