    My current route is 12.4 miles one way. It takes me almost an hour to get there, but only about 40-45 min on the way back. The elevation gain to and from work is about the same, it's just that the signal lights are better at 10 o'clock at night than they are during the day. I'm going to try out some new routes that are slightly longer but have less car traffic and fewer overpasses. By car it's about 11 miles and takes 20 min.

    Mine is 14 km each way. Going to work takes about 40 mins and coming back about 45 with hills.

    Bus would take about the same or longer. And driving during rush hours would take about 25-30 mins.

    mine is 16 miles to work -- around 1.5 hours with big hills
    back home is around 10 miles (take bus for rest) - around an 1 to an hour 10 minutes depending on wind and signals.

    i am doing this since summer, but i still hate that hill on my way to work.

    11km each way.

    To work by bike: 35 minutes (depending on weather, lights, whether i"m chased by rabid dogs, wind, fog, slippery leaves, the desire to actually get to work etc)

    Home by bike: a little longer as it's up, up, up. And more traffic/lights. And darker at this time of year.

    By car: 10 minutes depending on traffic.

    By bus: 30 minutes.

    I wouldn't give up my bike commute for the world. Except on snowy and black ice days.

    About 10 miles each way, bike or car. To work: about 1hr. Home: 40-45 min. Hills, hills, hills on the way in and honestly, I'm just NOT a morning person. It takes me 25-45 min in the car depending on traffic. It takes about 45-75 min on the bus depending on which one(s) I can catch.
