Quick Commute Question

[akb]

12 miles there, 12 miles back. Combination of gravel cycle track, tarmac cycle track, woodland are and road.
I'm having the same debate....!

40km round trip - about 11 miles each way, I believe.

All year round. Lights, 'guards, and snow tyres are among our weaponry...

16 mile round trip. Main roads, city park, city centre.

How far is your commute guys and what type of roads are they??? main roads, back roads, cycle paths etc etc

Cause for me its a 26 mile round trip on some main roads and a forest section that would be unlit for about 2miles..........i'm just debating whether to still commute at least once a week during the winter weeks, months lol

it depends...

2.38 miles, 2 trains then 2.68 miles, reverse in evening. mainly urban fringe A roads/ shared cycle track.

Or 2.6 miles 2 trains then 2.68 miles, reverse in evening. mainly urban fringe A roads/ shared cycle track, but with a bit more cycle track

Or 2.38 miles, 2 trains then 2.68 miles, then 2.68 miles then 7 miles . mainly urban fringe A roads/ shared cycle track but the 7 miles busy city roads

Or 2.38 miles, 2 trains then 2.68 miles, . mainly urban fringe A roads/ shared cycle track., then 3 miles of Taff Trail, then 2.38 miles

Or any combination of the above.

17 miles there (NW London), 22 miles back (SE London). Big hills on the way in, less so on the way home. I've tried big hills in both directions, but it costs too much in brake pads. I've tried the 22 mile version both ways, but prefer the extra 20 mins in bed.

It rains. I get wet. I dry off.

13 mile round trip, main roads through a city

25 mile round trip, all main roads, mostly on the A666 (yes, I know). Not the nicest route, but it's OK. I try to avoid the back roads, especially in the city, for fear of being mugged. (Probably irrational, but I wear a helmet as well, and that's irrational.)
