The tramping thread touched on this subject, I was curious as to what you guys see as a reasonable commute.
My job is 14 miles each way, it’s night shift and just under 14 quid an hour, so I’m ok with the commute, even though I do have to fight my way through Leicester rush hour on my way to work each day. The way home at 3am is a dream! My max would be an 18 mile commute to magna park.
Obviously tramping, I would be prepared to travel much further.
4 miles. Takes me twenty minutes on bike (in the summer) and anything from twenty minutes to forty five in car. Usually I’m going the opposite direction to rush hour traffic. Usually.
Daywork, 11/13 miles depending on route, which in turn depends on time and traffic.
Mornings usually little bother but the afternoon run home can be slow.
Up until just before Xmas it was 50 miles a day with a crap load of traffic morning and evening… Now dropped to about 20 and not really any traffic to worry about morning or evening, so it’s quite pleasant
17 miles in on a Monday and 17 back on a Friday or Saturday, all on country roads (The High Dyke). My quickest time is 12 mins in at stupid o clock, but usually 25 mins home as I’m invariably in a queue of blind sheep.
