How long of a commute do you have? How much time does it take you?
How long of a commute do you have? How much time does it take you?
2011 Specialized Secteur Elite Comp

By bike - 1.5 hours each way.
By car - 30 minutes each way.
My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom
To work: 25-30 minutes
Home: 12 -15 minutes
Driving is about 20 minutes either way.
12 minutes to the bus stop followed by 25 minutes on a bus which drops me right next to where I work.
I'm experimenting with biking to the next bus stop down the line and see how far I can ride by bike that's practical. Things are complicated by the fact that I'm already very near the last bus stop before the interstate ride to Wilmington.
I could take Maryland Ave the whole way but it would take me a week to get to work with all the traffic signals.co
Now then, if I did the commute by car (as I did for 25 years) it took me a HARD 30 minutes on a grid-locked interstate. It's a no-brainer which method is more fun, better for me, and better for the environment.

13 to 15 km each way, 35 to 45 minutes depending on the wind, the hills, the route, and the light (if it's dark I'm slower).
I would not take the car to go to work but if I did it would be about 25 minutes.
By bus it's the same as by bike, or a little slower.
13 miles one way. It takes me about an hour and ten minutes, depending on which lights I get stuck at.
Driving is shorter since I can take the expressway--only a little over ten miles. That takes about 25 - 30 minutes.
