    My commute is long like yours, and I know the feeling about it being long and being tired at the end of it. This is why I only do the full commute only once or twice a week, and do a hybrid commute the other days. Burn-out comes easy at 60 miles a day.

    Your commuter may not be the best bike for that commute. I find my road bike works better for the long commute - my Jamis Boca with saddlebags works better for the hybrid commute.
    I can do five more miles.

    Yep, we do still love to talk about it...



    24.5km to work... between 42mins (with a tail wind) to 54mins. Alot of downhill, work is at sea-level

    24.5km home seems much longer... at least 65mins, sometimes when I'm tired and with a head wind, 85mins.

    If T travel by car its 25mins each way.

    short one on the tandem...

    We have a fairly short commute in of 4.5 miles in under 20 minutes. We make the ride home longer and include a loop in the park, 8 miles in 30-35 minutes. Faster average speed on the trip home with fewer lights and stoppage. The ride home depends on the wind and my energy level at the end of the day.

    Just under 10 miles each way. It takes me about 40 minutes of pedaling, 50+ minutes overall.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    By Bike: 8 - 10 miles round trip. It takes me about 30 min to get to work.

    I do not drive. Take public transportation. I try to ride to work 2-3x week.
