I’m currently commuting around 12 km one way, which takes me 30 minutes. How long is your commute?
Less than two miles! Maybe 8 minutes if I hit all the lights.
I’m envious of that for sure.
When I was young, we rode bicycles everywhere. Then in my 20s, I was spending hours in a car everyday in commute. I missed riding places like in my youth.
Now I live different :)
60km round trip thrice a week. All nice and flat until i have to climb up the castle hill in Heidelberg at the end (switched to an E-Bike because of that)…
That’s quite a bit! How long does that take you?
One way about 1h10min - by car it’s 45min, so i get 2h20min of exercise by investing 50min of time :-)
Most of the way the motor is off because I’m pedaling at about 29 km/h in the flats.
Good stuff.
The total time for me to get to work with the bike vs taking transit is also slightly higher, but I do make it up in the fact that I get great exercise, and save a little bit on the cost of transit. Plus, listening to podcasts on the bike is a perfect combination for me.
I ride a little under 20km each way, takes just over an hour, and that is about the same as transit, but transit only has very limited times it runs. I only do the whole thing one way a couple times a week and I’ll multimodal the other way. Usually its a mix both ways. (Edit: converted to metric)
About 5km one-way. Perfect length for all-year commuting and light exercise.
5 miles round trip, including a stop at the gym. It’s amazing and a huge change from my last job which was 25 round trip.
Mine is only about 6 miles each way, and I only make it twice a month, 3x tops (still mostly remote). But my exercise commute takes me 10-35 miles at least once a week!
Nice, that’s a pretty manageable distance.
But my exercise commute takes me 10-35 miles at least once a week!
As in, to the gym, or something of the sort?
No I just meant that I bike recreationally 10-35 miles per week. So like I’m commuting just for exercise.
In retrospect it wasn’t well thought out.
Technically 20km but I take the train for most of that, so it ends up only ~5km.
I’ll bike 20 to 30 miles a couple times a week with an average speed of 12.7 to 13 miles an hour

Around 6 miles that takes 30 minutes one-way. Though usually the unoptimized traffic lights make it take a little longer.
3.3 miles, 330 feet of elevation.
I’m mostly work from home, but when I need to go to the office it’s about 10 miles each way. Takes me 40-45 minutes. Now that school has let out for the summer, I’ll have a couple of weeks where I need to take my kids to their various day camps. Looks like that will be about the same total mileage, except on my cargo bike.
15 or 20 minutes, it depends how collapsed is the central part of barcelona
it’s only 5km from the south of the city to the center
Just under 2 miles one way, so like 7-9 minutes. Short enough that I can do it year-round with little weather-related concern
Mine is a little over 21km one way and takes me 40-50 minutes depending on light cycles.
