My commute is between 4-5 miles each way - dependig upon the route. I take the longer route if it is light outside and the shorter one when my commute home is at night.

My commute is 13 miles each way. Interestingly enough, it takes me an hour to drive to work, an hour to bike to work, and an hour to take the train to work. At least when I bike to work, I don't have to sit in traffic, so that's what motivates me to get up and on the bike 3-4 days a week. On the days when I need to drive for whatever reason, I leave earlier in the morning to hit the gym, thus avoiding traffic. But, the traffic on the way home never fails to make me wish I was on my bike.
My old commute was 4 miles each way.
My new commute is about 18-24 miles each way, depending on route. Haven't done it as a round trip yet, just as a ride home. (I can bring my bike on the bus to work in the morning.)

I've commuted a few times and intend to do more this school year - it's 17 miles each way. People at work think I am insane. It's actually nice to get a decent ride in before work.![]()

4 miles each way for me. Lots of lights, but a nice wide bike lane for most of it. Took me about 25 min before clipless pedals. Down to about 20 now, because I can ride fast enough to make it through 2 lights I used to end up stopping at before.
I commute 6 miles each way in bad traffic. Ive been doing it for 3 months now.
My commute is 2.5km (1.5km) each way, mostly downhill on the way there, and mostly uphill home. It takes around 8 minutes to ride to work, and about 25 to walk, so a lot of the time I walk as it seems to be better exercise, and I don't need the extra time to get changed. Parking is a nightmare, so I have yet to drive to work, but I did catch a ride with DH a lot when I was ill. I'm so happy to be well enough to walk or ride now! YAY!
