A bit of description of your route profile.
13.6 miles each way, fairly hilly, mostly urban commuting corridors. I leave home at 5:45, leave work at 3:30 to avoid bulk of traffic.
What kind of bike you ride.
Raleigh Supercourse road bike in Summer. I just bought a Fuji Touring for Winter, or when I'm carrying a load. My previous commuter, 1997 Fuji Roubaix, is semi retired now, having logged some 30,000 miles and developed a bit of rust.
How you carry your gear and what or how much (volume) stuff you bring on the ride.
Backpack on the road bike, Panniers on touring bike. I mostly carry food, and a change of clothes as needed.
Distance & time (average speed if you care to share)
27.3 miles round trip, 1:30 - 1:45 time depending on route, winds, stoplights and mechanical issues. Typical Avg speed is anywhere from high 15's to low 18s.
How long you've been doing this and any thoughts you have toward the future of your commuting.I've been a fair weather commuter for circa 15 years. I hope to continue as long as health allows, though I suspect some idiot not paying attention - messing with cell phone, or fast food, or whatever will probably put an abrupt end to my commuting days sooner or later....Driver distractions were much less of a concern years ago.
