That won't be any time soon with Aubrey in her current condition.
She has been an exceptional DD lately I must say.
I'm supposed to have a dirty martini sitting on the delivery table next to her.
Had her name actually been Brinsley I still wouldn't have know what you're talking about.
11 miles to work. Coming home varies depending on Bike and conditions . 12 -14 depending on those.
I use either my Hard tail Mt bike , when I have to ride in the dark( or on snow/ice ) . and when No darkness/snow is involved a road bike ( Road Bike/TT bike /Fixed gear )
Today I brought my TT road Bike

I have and early eighties Schwinn continental.. but it is no fun to ride compared to todays bikes
ok......... so is the rumor that they joined... or that they were part of Brinsley Schwarz
Sq-Earl rides about 17 miles each way on his road bike. Before last spring, he used his old C-dale F500 HT with slicks. If I were to commute, it would be 35 miles each way 
I am hoping to get a job closer to home so I can ride to work though.

Before we relocated at the end of January, I commuted 4.5 miles each way on my mtb. Now I commute about .3 mile each way by foot mostly since it takes longer to open and close the garage door than to walk down the street.
About 5 blocks. But I am convinced its a good thing. I didn't own a car until last week. So I did a lot of bike commuting this last year. And I gotta say it sucked. I have learned to hate the cold and wet weather we get here. I don't mind it when I can actually enjoy it. But when it becomes a chore like on a rainy day... Well then fug that. I now have a choice. Its all good....
I ride my 1983 Norco Bigfoot whenever i don't want to worry about my good bikes.. I can travel anywhere from 1km to 10km. It rides like a charm, really smooth and i can get going fast on it.
Rad bike. I rock the 1998 Norco Bigfoot for commuting.
My commute is quadrupling in length from 5 km to 20ish km in a about a week so I might have to get something that fits a bit better. Plus, until now I've only been able to lock it on the sidewalk in front of my building so anything remotely potentially nice was a bad idea - I just joined a gym where you can lock it up inside so having something with gears and proper brakes might be worthwhile.
20 miles roundtrip
'02 c'dale scalpel in winter & hail season
'96 c'dale r800 w/ spinergy spox when temps are warm enough to change a potential flat
~3X/week

Commuter:
Sadly, I can't bike to work. Too far to commute by bike and the roads are way to congested.

other questions:
what's the ride like?
road or trail?
neighborhoods or boulevards?
do you log (& try to best) your times?
what was your worst commute?
ever get t-boned?
i add a couple miles to alleviate confrontations w/ cars & work in some trail. i greatly enjoy not sitting through 3 cycles of lights at most interchanges. on most days, 90% of my ride is auto-free.

Stosh, if you start commuting I fully expect to see you on a road bike by June.
