I'm 19 and my commute is 14 miles round trip. The longest I can practically make it is 16 miles, which I may do next semester.

I'm 16 years old and have been commuting to high school for two years now with a 6 mi. round trip. Compared to most people on this forum, I'm a toddler. Hope to do it the rest of my life nonetheless!

38, I get dropped off at work (no showers and work in an office setting) then commute 15 miles home. I started out commuting RT, then had my wife drop me half way, then switched to commuting on a MB which took more energy and created more sweat so i opted for getting drop off at office. I am going back to a road bike so I might go back to halfway to work...

I am 56 and commute 20 miles round trip. When I ride every day I am a bit tired at the end of the week but enjoy it all the same and only take another 5 minutes or so.

I have been riding for over 50 years along with running, hiking, walking and Tai Chi. I think if you stay active and take care of yourself you should be able to bicycle well into "old age"!

I was interested in the number of riders and the average distance.

There are 79 data points (as some of you didn't specify how far you rode)

Issues
Bikers that rode 2-3 times per week are included in the commuting data (as it is #kms per day commute)
Some of you didn't feel like sharing your age exactly, so mid-30s is input as 35 etc...

The 'Age' X-Axis on the scatter graph is incorrect, but I couldn't show the average distance and have the age range correct.

PM if you want a copy of the excel file.
