I switched library branches in March, in part for a longer commute. Through the winter I'd only ride directly to and from work at 1.7 miles, and it wasn't enough to stay anything remotely resembling in-shape. A longer commute fixes that.

The new commute is 4.65 miles one-way (between 15 and 20 minutes depending on direction, winds, traffic, etc.) by the most direct and safe route. So far, I've developed several variations out to 16.5 miles. But my favorites are the flat 4.65, a hilly 10.3 and the flat 16.5. This past week, the average of all trips was 11.25.

10 miles, give or take a tenth here and there.

5.5 miles or 7 if the MUP is open.

It's 2.6 miles - one way.

13

9.5/9.5 miles

About 8.5 or so kilometres.

About 20km with a *nasty* hill at the end and zero shade. Definitely would do the commute a lot more if the end wasn't brutal.

3.8 miles by the most direct route. Which I rarely take. 24 miles is my most favorite route.

My commute is about six miles or so, (one way) depending if I go by road or rec.trail, not much difference either way.

7 miles

About 10 km by by my most commonly used route.

18.9 miles on the way to my campus and 19.2 miles returning because i take a different route back to my house.

7.5 miles the direct route (through Washington, DC traffic) or 15 miles the indirect route (via Captital Crescent Trail, very beautiful, very light traffic).

About 5.3 miles one way.

Google Maps helped a lot. I just picked my start and stop points, picked 'by bicycle', then tweaked the results by swapping in some less busy roads in a couple of spots. That was it.

21.8 miles, but when it's nice, I have two alternate routes which are 26.1 and 30.5 miles. In the winter, or when the weather is really bad, I take the train part of the way coming in which shortens the incoming trip to 9.5 miles (I rarely take the train going home since it's always so crowded in the evenings).

Four different nice low traffic routes to work, each about 14 miles in, then Commuter Rail home with bike, about 2 miles from the station.
When training for a century, the weekday mileage to work increases from 14 to as high as 30 over a ten week period. If I go in on a weekend at my convenience, the miles are from 40 to 75.

10.85 for me, but I call it 11.

10 miles. About 8 of them are on bike lanes, through the park, or on the bridge. Only the last 2 miles in Manhattan are in the street in traffic. It is pretty amazing to me that I can go that far without being in a car lane in NYC. Those last 2 miles on 1st Ave are slated to get a bike lane as well, but it may take a little while. On the way back home, I have another mile or so of bike lane on 2nd Ave.

It takes under an hour if the lights are in my favor. I'm not one to blast through intersections like some of the crazies do, but I'll soft pedal through a red if there's nobody coming. I better watch that when I get to Seattle next week since nobody does that there. It takes me 45-50 minutes on the subway so it is basically a wash, bike vs train.

I've thought about trying a longer route home to get more miles in, but the best place for me to get more miles is in Prospect Park by doing a few extra laps. But every time I consider that I decide that I'd rather go home and get my road bike for that since that is the very end of my ride. Then reality hits when I have 3 hungry teenagers when I walk in the door.

16.6 miles from home to the office. 17.3 miles on the return trip.

5.82 miles to work, 6.37 miles home.

Right now it's three miles... Just long enough to impress my non-cycling co-workers, but too short for a legitimate workout.

18 months ago it used to be 6 miles each way. Then we moved offices and now it's 10 each way. It's also a U-shaped commute now, before it was pretty flat. When the commute first changed, it was a pretty hard adjustment. Now it's old hat.

there is a subway in North Hollywood?

This year, while training for the Trek Across Maine, I re-discovered that, for me, 20mi/day-100 miles a week is a perfect conditioning "base" for other longer more aggressive activities. Up until this year, I hadn't been riding that much.

My problem was two-fold: Commute is only 7 miles one way and a job which is stressful, exhausting, and long (don't worry love my work but at the end of a 14 hour day the last thing I want to do is ride home-sometimes): Can make for a VERY LONG day. So, I concocted a convoluted 13 mile ride to work when I feel fresh and the direct 7 mile ride home. Voila!
