A ten-minute ride to the train station, then a fifteen-minute train ride followed by another five minutes on the bike.

8.19 miles door to door. (yes, I actually touch both doors)
1st time 50 minutes riding time (auto start stop, so lights don't count time)
Today 36 minutes.

Most commuters in my area seems to be the contrary. In my observation its the roadies, not all, that blow the red lights on my commute home. I see them slow down a bit, look both ways then continue across the intersection on a red light. BTW, I'm assuming they are roadies because of the full kit they are wearing, so sue me.:p
I have personally gone against the light myself but only on rare occasions like 6-6:30am and nobody is around.

12 miles one way - between 40 and 55 minutes depending on season and wind

Heck, I don't even have computers on my bikes...the only reason I know my times is because I know what time it is when I leave and what time it is when I arrive...I may be old and stupid but I can still tell time and do math (even if I have to take off my shoes to do it!)

I don't get upset at those cyclists who slow down for a light or stop sign and then go through with caution. They aren't going to hurt anybody doing that (except themselves, possibly), unlike a car. If no one's there I don't stop at 4 way stop signs.

I agree. Those are impressive commutes. :)

6 miles, 40 min, mtb with knobbies, and trying not to break a sweat. in winter i can take off my coat and go pretty fast, but summer i have to take it really slow.

I ride 15 miles each way every day. In Q3 I rode 54 times, and in Q4 I rode 59 times. So far in Q1 I've logged 50; on track for 62. Of days the office was open (i.e. not holidays) and I wasn't taking a day off, I've missed riding the whole way to and from work only one day in November, when I had to take the van in for service. That day I put the bike in the van and rode it the last few miles to the office.

I'm an engineer by inclination, training, and profession. I like quantified numbers like traffic-light split times and overall trip PRs; I find them encouraging when they go down. I also chart my weight loss, down from 250lbs in May to 220lbs now - and that's encouraging too.

Though I use speed to measure my performance and improvement, I am the most conservative and lawful cyclist you'll ever meet. I never blow through traffic lights or stop signs, though I might not put my foot down. I never overtake on the right. I wait in stopped lines of traffic because I don't like the safety problems of using a bike lane. I never take special advantage of my bicycle-ness in traffic; I drive it as a vehicle. I'm an LCI and I don't want to be accused of hypocrisy when I instruct a class to ride this way.

2.5 miles in about 8-12 minutes, depending on which bike and lights. The past week it seems that 8 minutes has been the norm, though, and I hate to say it - there's a fair dose of stupid fast riding in there. The final stretch of it is about .5 mile on a busy street, so I go like I stole it - 25 to 35mph - and end up almost collapsing as I roll into work.

But what's the fun in not doing that!?

Also ironically, about 1.5 miles of it is on a rough potholed street. I think my average speed was actually FASTER on my MTB the other day than my "roadie", as I hold back quite a bit due to the skinny tires. However, I didn't break much over 20 on that road with those big knobbies.

But is it ever fun to jump curbs :D

You sound like my twin, both in terms of data focus, but also riding style. An additional reason for this lawful and vehicular style is that it creates a firm rule book to follow. I never want to gain improvement in time by rolling thru a stop sign, because once I do that I must always do that again to remain competetive with myself and once one rule is broken for speed advantage it will be too tempting to break another.

See attached graphs. On the first the red line is a 4-day (8 commute) rolling average of average moving time speed.

The second one is only for your benefit ;) It shows the ratio between elapsed time and ride time. On average (the red bar) 91% of my ride is spent moving, the remainder stopped.

Other odd stats:
My average stop time since I started commuting is 2:18. I've spent a total of 38hr 42min and 45sec stopped in traffic since I started.

If I come in the most direct route, it's about 4 miles in 20 minutes. Lots of stoplights. But I usually try to go a more interesting and much longer route when time allows.

16 miles door to door. Started at 60 minutes and now down to about 50 minutes (depends on headwind I guess). Road bike, totally flat, and a few stoplights through downtown Sacramento. Other than that it is wide open throttle.. :D

18 hilly miles each way during rush hour with traffic lights.

Winter - Average 1:20 on the MTB w/ Nokian Studs on icy / snowy roads
Winter - Average 1:10 on the CX on snowy / wet roads
Summer - Average 60 minutes on the Commuter on dry roads
Summer - Best time ever is 52 minutes on the Roadie

Just over 2 miles each way. Time completely depends on traffic; I budget 15 minutes, usually takes 10-12, and I've done it in 6 early on a Sunday with no traffic and hitting all the lights just right (it's mostly downhill). Coming back takes longer because it's almost all uphill, and the lights always seem worse.

Edit: That's with my old MTB. Haven't tried it on my road bike, would just be frustrating to actually get going fast and then hit a light, again (plus the route is a touch on the rough side, with a few big potholes that I occasionally get forced into).

10.5 miles, 35 to 37 minutes summer, 47 to 52 winter depending on road and wind conditions. Running about 39 now, still a bit chilly and extra gear and tires aren't fully pumped up yet due to muddy roads.

3 miles in 12 minutes

Remind me to never ask you to count to 21.

You ride a Villager AND you homebrew? Holy kindred spirits, Batman!! (or should it be chipcom?)
I've got 2 kegs on tap in the downstairs fridge, and a 3rd batch in the fermenter. I have to drink faster to keep up with the brewing habit...which is one of the reasons I ride!

15 miles on roads through the city in about 1 hour. About 50 min on MUP when not covered w/snow.

Just shy of 6 miles mostly on bike path and mostly flat: 20 minutes in and 30 minutes back on a good day. Twice that on the worst days (snow/ice with studded tires).

I do 12.5 regularly except Dec/Jan/Feb on old 70's Raleigh 10 speed Actually did usual commute last week in -32C froze evrerything !! Good weather usually,35 -40 minutes Best one way time =27 mins in July 2005 a hot one. Been doing it a while over 17,000 km ( approx 10,600 miles as of last Nov) Great exercise Resting HR during peak season 37-40 BPM Turn 65 next month Hope to beat 27 minutes once this summer

10 miles takes me as little as 35 minutes with the wind riding slicks, against the wind with studded tires, as much as an hour. The grid road system here in Oklahoma means you're going to deal with whatever wind you start out with for the whole commute, generally. 7 of the 10 miles I ride are in the same direction.

11 miles in 50 minutes, the route is a mix of 2 lane highway and suburban neighborhoods with minor hills here and there.

Anywhere from 40 to 45 minutes to ride the nine miles from Alexandria, VA to Washington, DC. I'm always trying to break the 40 minute barrier.

Alright! Back in my highschool days, I would make the bike trip along the Mt. Vernon trail from Belle Haven abouts to a school on Connecticut avenue. It would take 45 to an hour... at least that is what I think I remember, twas almost 20 years ago!

About 20 miles (19.1 I think, per Google pedometer), takes me about an hour and a half fully loaded on the Sirrus (hauling about 25bs of gear, if I had to guess). On my road bike, I can make it in about an hour, my record is 48 minutes, but that's to fast to be riding to work. I was dripping wet when I got in. I got the feeling people thought I had been running from the police...

Either 1.5 or 1.75 miles each way, 10 minutes door to door. Sounds wimpy, okay IS wimpy but there's a nice hill right in the middle to keep it real, especially seeing as my fleet consists of a Breezer Villager and a vintage English 3-speed...

My distance to work is 10 miles and it takes me anywhere from 29 minutes to 36 minutes (depending how hard the wind is blowing and how I feel) I have a lot of stop and go with about a dozen traffic lights.
The times I mentioned are elapsed times on my bike computer.

My average best speed was 21 mph and my worst was 16.5 mph.

8 miles. It takes me anywhere from 38-50 minutes, though generally in the early 40's. Thats on the mountain bike with either a rucksack or panniers, and with the computer stopping the count when I do (traffic lights).
