5:30 to 6 am. If I leave at 5:30, I take the long way. If I leave at 6, the shortest route. Either way, I need to arrive about 20 to 30 minutes early for a shower and a cup of coffee. If I flat, no coffee, no shower, no fun.

I work overnights and my commute is only about 3 miles each way. I leave for work around 10-10:05pm and arrive anywhere from10:20-10:25 for a 10:30pm - 8:30am shift. Don't get hassled to much from motorists. And when I do its always at night on my way in. Not how I like to start my day off.

I'm up @ 2:40am and out the door @3:25. that gets me to work at about 3:50.

Awake at 4am and on the road by 5am. Have to clear Memorial park before 6am otherwise life on a bike gets just a little too exciting.

On bike days I start work at 7am-ish.

7:30-7:50am, work starts at 8:30, 7.2 miles one way.

I'm up at 3:30am. In the car by 4am with the bike on the roof. Stop at 7-11 for coffee. Hit the trailhead by 5:00am. In the office no later than 6:30am. 49 miles by car, 24.8 by bike each way.

Winter: Leave the house @ 7:00 a.m. Home by 3:30ish

Summer: Sometime between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. depending on my Schedule. Home by 5:00ish

Love cool summer traffic free mornings.

I get up 5:30-5:45, eat breakfast and dress, leave home about 6:30 am. Arrive at work about 7:15 or so, depending on how many red lights catch me, take a shower, get dressed and usually at my desk by about 7:30 am.

I only commute at high speed (17-21 mph average speed, depending on wind & traffic lights), or it's not worth it, so I don't ride when there's snow or ice on the bike path/trail. The 2/3s of my ride closer to work is mostly on an unlit rural road with cars going at 50+mph, so I time my riding for daylight on this stretch. The 1/3 closer to home is on side streets and a pedestrian/bike trail. Therefore I don't leave in the morning until a little after 7, so there's decent daylight by time I get onto the road with the cars, which gets me to work by 8; and I like to start my return trip before 4:30pm. This way I'm away from the cars while it's dark during the short daylight months. After I get home, I network back into work and catch up on late-day emails and whatever else I'm working on.
I only started commuting last fall, so I'm looking forward to the increased time flexibility due to the longer daylight hours of the spring & summer months.

Cripes some of you people get up early! 3:30 am does not even qualify as morning. That is late evening at best. Maybe even the witching hour but certainly not morning.

At 6:30 am I might think about getting up. I'm usually out of bed by 6:50 because the kids have to get up for school. The plan the night before is to leave by 7:30 which never happens. I'm doing good to leave before 8:00.

Up at 5:50, shower, make a great breakfast, try to be out the door at 6:50 and at my desk by 7:50.
12miles one way. Never late.

Yes, but we (I at least) get to leave early. That leaves us with time for recreational ride for the early afternoon

One good thing about early morning start, we get rewarded on the weekend to wake up after the sunrise which we seldom see during the work week

What kind of job do you guys do? The hours you mention to get into work is ungodly! Are these shift work? Yikes!
I hold a regular office hr job and I don't even wake up until 7am. I start biking about 8am. Arrive at destination 35mins later.

Garbage man here. Leave the house at 3:30am, at work by 4:15. I know it sounds like an unholy hour, but, I'm done with my work day and riding home by 1:30. So it's a fair trade off.

I'm a nurse. Up at 0400 on work days so I can be ready for report at 0700. 12 hour shift is a b!tch but I only work three days a week.

I work rotating shifts but I generally plan to leave an hour before my shift starts. That's about 30 minutes of riding, 10 minutes to change clothes and walk to the shop, and 20 minutes spare.

In reality, I'm more of a procrastinator than I claim to want to be, and often rush out of the garage at the last possible second, pedal like hell, and barely make it in time. I don't enjoy doing it, so you'd think I'd learn. But I don't. I do it again, and again, and again...

On Monday I have an 8am meeting, so wake at 630, get dressed and have breakfast in 30 minutes. 30 more minutes for my commute, and 30 more for cool down, shower and dressed again and the short walk to the office.

The other days of the week I get up at 700 to arrive at 830.

If I'm riding all the way in, which is most days, I'm on the bike by 730. If I'm just riding to the train, like today, I'm on the bike by 8. Both get me there at the same time, just a matter of how sore and tired I am. By Thursday, I'm pretty sore.

Alarm goes off at 4:55, out the door 5:35 or by 5:40 at the very latest, to catch a 6:05 train.

Up at 6am, walk the dog, shower, breakfast and hopefully leave the house by 7:45-8 and at the office about 55 minutes after that.

4:30 am wakeup to start at work at 7:30.

I shower, make breakfast (I eat a real breakfast, eggs and whatnot, oatmeal leaves me gnawing on my desk in the middle of the morning), make lunch and coffee to bring with, and hopefully, but not usually, do my dishes. Leave at around 6:30, arrive at work at around 7:00, stand around and cool off for about ten minutes, head inside, change, usually I'm sitting down with ten minutes to spare.

I've commuted by bike at any hour you can name at various jobs.... night, swing, and day shifts. Currently multi-mode commute with the help of transit, so my bike commute varies between 3 and 24 miles round trip. I prefer maxing out on the ride home as traffic is so much less after 8PM. Getting hard to ride in the morning due to increasing arthritis in one knee, will probably have to do something about that soon.

up at 4:30 out door 5:20 at work 6:30. all these times are 'ish'. ride is about 55 minutes in lately. early no traffic is really nice.

I leave at around 6:15 AM. My shift starts at 7, and that gives me time to change clothes and sit around for a few minutes (the commute takes about 25 minutes, depending on how I catch the traffic lights).

First off, CCrew is a maniac, just sayin. For me, I'm out the door between 4:45 AM and 5.
