How far do you cycle each way?
How long does it take each way?

I'm just wondering how far commuting by bike every day is practical.
I currently do about 5km each way every day, but I'm thinking of moving which would mean it goes up to 10km each way.

Thoughts?

767208 2009-04-22 05:35:00 Before getting a car I would cycle 40km a day. - it would take me around 45 mins to ride 20km to work.

Then I drove 40km a day.

Now I live in town, and cycle 3km a day when I'm not feeling lazy. It's a great way to start the day though. Takes about 5 mins to ride the 1.5km to work.

767209 2009-04-22 05:52:00 I bike to and from school each day (except when it rains), and it takes me about 15-20 minutes - not sure how far it is though. :p pcuser42 (130)

767212 2009-04-22 06:10:00 I walk to the office each day, takes 7 to 9 seconds from the time I leave the house. I also walk home for lunch. Rob99 (151)

What about days when you feel tired or it is raining?

Be about 1km. Takes a few mins.

767215 2009-04-22 07:22:00 I bike 8km (15-20 minutes) to work rain, hail, or shine. AvonBill (11358)
767216 2009-04-22 07:57:00 35km each way, about 1 hour 10mins. I do this about 3-4 times a week unless it is raining or I have to work late. Saves lots of petrol money. user (1404)
