This time of year, I start out on the south shore of Long Island. Ride four miles to the train, fold up the bike and take the train 90 minutes into NYC, ride another 2.5 miles. Some trains take me to Penn Station, others to Hunterspoint Avenue; having the bike with me I really don't care which train I catch, though the ride over the Queensborough bridge is nicer. In the afternoon I always leave from the Hunterspoint Avenue station. Total daily mileage is around 150, but 135 of that is on the train.
During the school year, I start out in Lawrenceville NJ, ride five miles to Hamilton, and take the train to Penn Station... a little more time on the bike, and less on the train.
