How far do people commute and how long does it usually take you on average?

I just installed my computer and now I can see how far I go and how long it takes me. Just wondering.

I commute 6 miles and it took me 22 minutes. I don't know if that is slow or fast. This is also at 5:30 in the morning with hardly any traffic but a few annoying traffic lights.

How about you guys?

I am shamed .Yesterday was my first real commute and it took me 21 minutes to go 3 miles. Including stoplights and hills.

6 miles / (22/60 hours) = 16.4 mph, which isn't too shabby with light delays.

I do 8.5 miles in 35-45 minutes, but this is door to door, including lot of delays.

15 miles 45 minutes

Rolling time or total time. If you got it off your cyclocomputer it is probably rolling time. So my rolling time is about 25 minutes for 8.5 miles.

Javan

4.3 miles, about 15 minutes

13 miles, somewhere around an hour. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

12.5 miles. 45 minutes or so. Depends on the wind.

6 miles each way, almost always about 30 minutes, fully loaded.

25kms(15 mi) each way, roughly 45-55 minutes depending on winds and bike type for that day.

Ten miles; one hour.

17 miles 52-58 minutes depending on the wind. This is rolling time, so, maybe I should check actual time next time I come in. On the way back it is from 1:03 - 1:15, depending on the wind, and there a couple hills I have to travel up.

It's 8.5 km one way, slightly downhill to work. Older urban with lots of stop signs and traffic lights. Usual times 25 min going in, 30 coming home. Best times 17 min going in, 23.5 min coming home.

I work over yonder a ways, and I get there when I get there. (Unless I've got something time-sensitive to do. Then I get there quickly.)

bhop

Around 13 miles, takes me just under an hour with traffic lights thrown in there.

That's about my average, and I've been commuting for a while. I'm just not in much of a hurry, especially on the uphill ride home.

That being said, if I do intervals, I can make it in 8-10 minutes.

Nothing to be ashamed about. When I first started commuting on my cheap $100 mtn bike it took me 45 minutes to an hour! Wow, talk about embarrassed!

2 miles - 12 minutes on the way to work, 8 on the way back. Not hilly, I just like a gentle non sweaty ride to work and there's quite a few junctions where I need to wait for gaps in traffic and lights to change.
