Default What Is Your Daily Commute Like?

After years and years of long distance and/or time consuming commutes, I now have the bliss of working down the road.
1.2 miles away - just over the river.

Now look what has happened!



28 weeks!!!!
Anybody got a cheap canoe for sale?

I think mines about 2 miles each way, best thing i ever did moving close to work. Having no commute is something you don't realise how good it is until you get rid of it.

I have got to agree with that.
When I lived in the Home Counties - 3 hours a day crawling around the M40 / M25 was normal.
That is a day's work for a lot of people.

about 8 miles. an hour if I walk and go by train. half hour if I take the car and walk. but the drive home is hard work and can take over an hour on a bad day but a walk and drive home about 50 minutes.

10 miles each way, i usually cycle 2 or 3 times a week & then take the car on the other days. Driving takes 15 mins in a morning & up to 45 mins on my way home. It has been known for me to beat my son ( who works with me ) home if he drives & i am on my bike depending on the traffic.
