.6 miles. Usually takes me about 5-10 mins, depending on traffic. I don't live far away. Roads are fine but there's lots of gigantic vehicles that pop in and out of the road because of all the construction going on on this campus. Today I had to avoid a mulcher, two gigantic dump trucks, a street sweeper, a 50 foot crane, several cement mixers, and 4 or 5 double parked delivery trucks whose drivers like to open their doors without looking (a couple of years ago the city was trying to make that a crime but I don't know if it worked out)
i did last year, but after a brutial car wreck, im not quite up to it this year. trees, them i can handle jumping in front of me. cars, not so much. 6 miles took me 20 mins, the same 6 takes me 15 in the jeep... :nuts:
i will do, as soon as i can get round to building up a commuter out of the parts i have lying around.
i walk to work just now, not pleasant after a long hard day in the recent heat we've been having
the only spare time i have is after work, and i can never be assed to do it.
probably build it up sometime this week.
its only 2mile, downhill all the way to work, uphill all the way back.

I do a couple times a week depending on schedules and weather. 14 miles each way. Usually takes me about 40-45 minutes ride time. Probably another 5-10 minutes for stop lights and such. I ride main roads and bike paths/wide sidewalks when they go where they exist on my route. I ride a different route in to work than going home because of traffic.

almost exactly 4.0 miles. takes me 20-25 minutes door to door including time to lock up the rig. i try to ride in 3 times a week, since i waste more time than 25 minutes with the bus, what with waiting around, schedules, and increased walking distance from the stop vs. where i can park the bike.

I ride 19.5 miles each way (29 miles total), usually on a Specialized Roubaix Comp. Sometimes I take a 42 mile route home (61.5 miles total) throught the rez, south of South Mountain. It takes 57 - 66 minutes ride time (39 mile route)based on conditions, such as stoplights, temperature et. al. Add 5-10 minutes stoplight time.Most of the streets I ride are regular hight volume surface streets, usually with with bike lanes.
Some times to switch it up I ride a mountain bike, and ride up the road and over South Mountain (National >> Mormon), 47 miles round trip.

Here's another Seattle commute (Greenwood to UW, 3.7 miles). It takes 15 or 20 minutes, it's downhill at first, then flat a long ways, then uphill at the end (same going to school as going home). This time of year it's nice to check out the scenery at Greenlake...
It's helping me ride more, because driving or taking the bus would take a lot longer.
