I don't know if I qualify for a very long commute or not. I just started commuting on my fixed gear two out of the three days that I work each week. The direct route is 8 miles, but I'm trying to get some extra mileage in, so I did 22 miles on the way in and I'll do the same on the way home. In comparison to my boyfriend's commute (65 miles each way which he does two round trips of each week, Tues night/Wed morn and Thurs night/Fri morn) it seems like it's on the shorter side!
