Commuting Distance?

[KnottedYet]

I wear a bike skort. Cars are nicer to me when I wear a skort.

My ride home takes a bit more than 2 hrs, so I haven't even considered riding in my work clothes. They'd probably be painful, and I sweat so badly that I'd probably look like I'd had an "accident."

Average distance: 2 miles (grocery store, drugstore, library, farmer's market and cheese shop are all about 2 miles away)

Usually tho, I ride a 6 mile loop that lets me hit many/all possible errand locations. I can pretty easily end up needing to do 2 trips in a day from hitting weight or volume limit. Max load is around 45 lbs.

3.3 miles each way. But, I do errands & such, so I average 14 miles a day.
My recreational riding per week doubles the number of miles I ride (~100 miles/week total). But that tends to be longer rides, less often. 100 miles/week is a lot and I am getting a lot of flack for it both at home and at work, so I suspect & hope that number will drop with the temperature.

I've been trying to increase my distance so the shortest route is 3 miles and the longest is 12. I like to commute in bike cloths when its hot or wet or too cold and regular cloths the rest of the time. But that may change to since I'm trying to get more miles in.

I wear work clothes. Commuting has made me modify the work clothes so they are as comfortable as possible, which is nice at work too.

My commute is 1 to 3.5 miles one way, depending on the train station I ride to, which depends on how late I'm running. It takes as long to bike to the closest station as it does to drive. I wear work clothes, because I don't sweat very much in the morning, and my office is pretty casual. A co-worker bikes about 6 miles each way to the office, a second about 9 (he's a triathlete).

The "vision" (as one of our project managers says, I usually say "fantasy") is for both my husband and I to bike one way to the train station and both to drive one way to the day care (near the station 3.5 miles from us). I'd bike in the morning, he'd drive and drop off our son; we'd reverse on the way home. Drivers are too angry to make using the bike trailer safe.

I love my commute. It's early enough that the traffic is pretty thin, and I feel energized when I get to the station.

I wear bike clothes. It's just more comfortable for me.
