    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.

    Mine is really short. When school is out (on fall break this week) I can take a route that is 2.5 miles. Next week I go back tothe 3.5 mile route. Oddly, that route goes right by the schools, but not the school bus stops. The bus stops are what cause the traffic problems for me.

    I live 33 miles from Providence.

    If I bike the whole thing, it takes about two hours. I go through five towns, from rural to urban. It's a cool transition!

    If I bike to the bus, it takes 40 minutes to ride about 11 hilly miles to the bus stop, and the bus takes about a half hour.

    I have a choice of four bus stops ranging from 5 miles away to 15 miles away. I usually do the one that is 11 miles away.

    If I drive in, it takes about 35-40 minutes.
    I can do five more miles.

    Bike: 10 miles, 40 minutes
    Car: 8 miles, 15 minutes

    Regretably, I've been doing much more car commuting than bike commuting. I'm burnt out with the whole idea, I think. Part of the commute has me sprinting on a secondary highway through a major highway interchange. Very stressful and not fun. Especially in the dark and/or during rush hour. I think that's much of my burn out right there....

    Pardes, MD Avenue is part of my commute, and I can offer you some suggestions for cutting off the sections with no shoulders, on-street parking, and many traffic lights. PM me if you wish.

    I think we've been here before : http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...mmute+distance

    My approximately 13.5-mile ride is 50 to 55 minutes each way in the summer, and anything from 1 to 2.5 hours in the winter, depending on ice and weather.

    I almost never drive, but I seem to vaguely recall it taking about 20 minutes by car.
