About 18 miles each way. During the week it takes about 35-40 minutes, less by motorbike.
On a good Sunday I can do it in less than 20 minutes on the motorbike. Got myself re-insured on the family workhorse as it's a badly paid fill-in job that's gone on way too long, and I've had my hours and wage cut because of something out of my control (long annoying story), so it makes more sense to go by bike when I can rather than drive and pay £3.70 a day to park. The Pegaso sips fuel as well.

Just under 60 miles each way and I drive. I drive to a colleagues house about 15 miles from me and then we car share so we take it in turns driving.
Up to a couple of years ago there was no car sharing, I drove the whole journey myself each day. I've been at this location for nearly ten years.

16 mile round trip cycle. Sometimes need to cover other areas when they are short and this can stretch my pedal to a 52 mile round trip journey. Saddle sore cream to the rescue.

can do it via car, bike, walk or bus. used to do 30 miles up and down the M1 every day, I wouldn't do that again.

currently it's about a 25 minute walk, or a 10 minute drive thanks to dodgy traffic
but starting monday, I'll be driving from Reading(ish) to Portsmouth for a little while till I can move down there, so it'll be about 1hr 20 minutes, longer with traffic etc
