Commuting On C&V

Who's riding their bike to work?

What are you riding?

How many miles is it?

How long does it take you?


I used to ride to work somewhat regularly- it's about 16.5 miles, and a large chunk of it is bike/MUP.

I had been riding my 84 Specialized Stumpjumper, then my drop-barred 86 Schwinn High Sierra- and then my 85 Trek 620.

Although it takes pretty consistently an hour and fifteen minutes- I budget an hour and a half for the ride- and half an hour to shower/clean up/get ready. When I started at 0800, leaving the house at 0600 was no problem. Since I changed my tour to start at 0600, leaving the house at 0400 is an entirely different animal. I like starting and getting off work early, but I don't get to put as many miles on- and all my riding is "recreational" rather than commuting miles now.
