This is one of the reasons I like my multi-modal commute; I get to do both
I realized that I didn't answer the actual time question originally posed; my total daily commute at present is about 2.75 hours. I spend about 45 minutes in the car (getting daughter to school and then getting car back home at the close of the workday). I spend about 1 hour on the bike (riding from school to metro and back) and 1 hour on the train.
This post made me look into what the distance would be if I ride all the way in, and skip the train, and I just determined that I think the total would stay the same. I plan to try it on Tuesday or Wednesday, just to see.
