So I will be starting a job in Bath in the next few weeks or so and need to move to the area. Bath itself is a writeoff as it's so expensive and the nature of my job means I do not want to live in the city as it could risk breaking acceptable boundaries.
The missus and I are looking at Keynsham, Bradford-On-Avon and Trowbridge. Trow Vegas is currently top spot as it's just so cheap, but I am unsure if it would be viable to commute to the centre of Bath from there by bike a couple of times a week. The canal path looks lovely but I am unsure if it could be relied upon as a commuting option.
I have a Specialised Sirrus Hybrid and have ridden up to thirty miles on it in the past. It's a hell of a bike s I'm not worried about that part. Trowbridge to Bath seems to be around thirteen to fourteen miles on the canal path. My questions are:
Do any of you use any of these routes to commute and if so, how have you found it and how much time do you allow to reach Bath?
Is it too unreliable to use a canal towpath for cycle commuting?
Those are the main ones but if you have any other details that would be useful to me, that would be great. I look forward to start commuting to work this way but definitely need to iron out these few apprehensions before beginning.
