how far do you commute?

[icowden]

On topic kinda but since I’ve retired the bike a couple of years ago I’m sorely tempted , to start cycling again ?! Traffic is busier again. The back into the office mantra is defo in full flow !

Just wonder if my knee could cope !?

Only one way to find out...

Good luck.

Currently my commute is just over 6km (3.8m) each way. Soon I'm going to quit my current job and undertake a Master's Degree in the UK and that commute will be a 9 mile (14.4km) commute each way!

Depends which way I go, but I commute through the Forest of Dean, from Ross on Wye to Littledean. The direct route is about 18km each way, my usual route is 26km to work and anywhere between 30 and 85km home, depending how much time I've got and whether I'm feeling fit enough to extend it (which doesn't happen as much as it used to, it has to be said). It helps that I only work there two days a week, and I sometimes have either my wife's car or the work van, but I do try and cycle fairly frequently.

Welcome back dear chap. Good to see you here again.

Why, thank you! I was wondering if any of the old familiar names were still around!

There's still a good few but a good few have also moved on.

My daily commute is 12 miles 6 miles each way. although this will be dropping soon as I am moving locations. I am staying with the same company but just going to another store that's closer to me so probably won't need the bike for commuting.

My commute is about 40 feet from the kitchen to the home office, and then about another 40 feet from there to the patio door to get some fresh air and water the plants. We all have our crosses to bear.

My commute is 0 feet to a job at which I work 00.00 hours. I think a 40 foot commute would drive me doolally.

10 miles through south London and ten miles uphill all they way back

How do you manage that? in London, even the uphill hilly bits are surrounded by flat/downhill bits?

You don't notice those, particularly on the way home

I always much preferred the afternoon commute over the morning 😴

Ah, but in Sarf London if you are following the river toward central london you are, however gently, going downhill to the sea. On the way back you are therefore going gently up-hill, notwithstanding the normal hills going up and down.
