9 miles each way for me. It takes me about 50 minutes each way. Mostly flat, I have to cross the Alex Fraser bridge both ways, it is the only hill. I gave up driving just over a year ago, I love it. I would not mind a longer commute. My daughter is not living with me right now, so I dont have many obligations to deal with, time is not that pressing. The exercise is great, gives me lots of time to think. Keeps me from kicking the dog when I get home.
