In my last job I had a convoluted work commute --1.5+ hrs. one way. For 3 yrs. Not even by car at all. Distance by the route I took was 80+ kms. round trip daily... a blend of bike, commuter train (get off bike to park it), train, then bus, then walk to worksite in 1 one way. On my way home, I biked a longer distance deliberately for fitness and destressing.

If I had biked all the way, round trip, it would have been a 103+ kms. because of detours due highway sections illegal for cycling. I have done this trip.....on weekends for bike fitness because parts of it is beautiful.

So I understand how demanding commute travel time can be.

As a suggestion,bring your bike and cycle in the workplace area during lunch hr. I have worked for other employers where there were some other employees who did make the effort to fit in fitness bike ride during noon hr. near place of work.

Just a thought.
