32 miles each way commute on a major thoroughfare for 30 miles and local streets for the remaining 2. I try to bike the entire distance as much as possible this summer. Some days I take the train part of the way, and when I have to stay really late or go really early, I take my cage. During the school year, I live on campus so I don't have that crazy commute. It takes about 2 hours each way. Driving takes at least an hour each way because traffic and parking suck, and driving or biking to the train station and taking the train takes anytime between an hour to 2 hours depending when I get a connection. I lost over 30 pounds this summer. My road bike has paid for itself in car depreciation and $4/gallon gas savings.
