Hands up, who's in it?! Or who was in it?
As someone well outside of London and it's ways, I find the sums here quite hard to fathom. I knew the trains in England are expensive but that's a serious amount of money to get to work. Money aside though, it's a serious amount of time to spend every day just travelling to work on a train..
"In the club is Matt Blackwell, a sub-editor from Leicester, who combines a 70-minute train journey and two-mile cycle to get to his office in London"
Now that I commute most days on the bike, my commuting time is around the 45 minute mark, meaning it's an hour and a halfs exercise every day and traffic gridlock, rtas, road closures etc generally don't affect my journey times.
I commuted 35 miles each way by car for a year but moved closer to work in the end as I was fed up with the amount of time sitting driving in traffic. What has been your longest regular commutes and how does 'your alternative' compare with your cycling commute?
