What's an acceptable commuting distance?

Just wondering what people consider a reasonable drive to work, and if you get a driving allowance, what is it?

I'm just sick of the cost of commuting to work, when sometimes I cannot avoid driving.

I guess at 45-50 minutes it's not going to be enough to complain about then

.

It really is too much for me, and yeah it's expensive.

I'm not, but I feel there is little I can do about it.

I cycle for anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours each way to work depending on the route I take and time of year. I love cycling so the time does not bother me and it allows me to get the training done on the way to work. I also drive it a couple of days a week. 20 - 25 minutes on traffic free road.

Yeah I don't mind cycling, it's 50 minutes for me to cycle, but 2 days in the week I have to drive. I hate it.
