Currently 6 miles each way, about 4 on bike path. If I had sufficient time after work or could ride really really fast (I can dream) I could extend the return trip up to over 40 miles if I rode to the end of the bike path

My commute is about 15-16 miles each way if I take the road with cars on it. If I take the other road with cars plus bike path, then it's about 18-19 miles each way. I usually take the shorter route.
So far I've been doing that at least twice a week since last June (although that is now on hold until I get my bike repaired/replaced from being t-boned by a car). I was hoping to increase to thrice a week, but now I guess I have to get my nerve back up...

30 miles round trip. I can take a shorter route, but the traffic really sucks and it's worth the extra mile to avoid it.

3/4 of a mile each way, flat, 75 to 85 degrees year round. Sounds like an easy commute, but there is a one block section where the sun shines in my eyes on the way home.

25 miles round trip.
But recently I'm lucky if I can commute two or three days a week.
