how far do you commute?

ffs MTFU

Baby wipes and deodorant!

It's just not the same! Never feel as fresh as after a shower!

I get what you're saying about riding not being an option for some but it is for me, I live a 5 minute walk from the train station & my office is a 30 sec walk from the other end. It's a new building and when the shower is installed I will change my routine.

There seems to be a significant number of commuters on here with no access to showers, so a compromise must be found. Not riding is not an option for some!
A poll might be interesting to determine whether or not folk have shower access.

No showers for me and I do a 20 mile morning commute.
It's Babywipes for me.

11 mile round trip for me

 

[spenno37]

26 mile return trip for me. i also have hot showers and a drying room for my kit

 

[captain nemo1701]

About 10 miles round trip. Downhill going to work, uphill back

 

[alans]

It is a rather easy 25km round trip but I'm becoming more of a fair-weather cyclist as I grow older & don't fancy getting out of bed at 0400hrs to ride to work;particularly when Jack Frost is out before me

 

[Breedon]

My commute for the next week and a half is 64 miles round trip started it on Thursday.

 

[mk6golf]

I did my first ride in and back again mid week to the total of 1.75 there and 1.75 back. Hopefully will now be able to do it soon without nearly dying in the staff room

My round trip is 36 miles with 600mts of climbing. I use a single speed steel moutain bike with hydraulic brakes and wouldn't use any other type of brakes for commuting now as I've had to rely on them on more occasions than I would wish to remember. I also use Schwalbe Marathon Winter 26 x 1.75s all year round as the studs produce a sound like you are riding over grit and therefore it reduces the risk of pedestrians walking out in front of you. How do I know? Often pedestrians will turn round to see what is causing an unfamiliar noise. Better for them and me.

Baby wipes and deodorant!

I have an 11 mile each way ride but no shower when I get here until end of March so delaying cycling at the moment.

Sink wash n that's it - Unless your a surgeon who's likely too sweat into an open wound :P

It's about to be 15 miles each way for me with a good hill in the middle.... I do have access to showers at work though which is a bonus.

 

[Cold]

4 miles each way have showers and changing room with a locker.

 

[robbiejp77]

26 mile round trip for me, at work I've got two lockers one for work gear the other for cycling, plus multiple hot showers avaialble. If i had to use wet wipes i wouldn't be very popular in my office I sweat like a fat bird in a cake shop!!!
