I ride to work every day. 30 miles round trip.

 

I do sometimes... 200 kms round trip. Only problem is, I am on the road at 0430 hrs in the morning and the highway I take, is riddled with deer... I usually ride when I go in on nightshift. That way, it's light when I head in and the sun is rising when I head home...

 

I ride to work as long as the weather is fine. Even in colder weather. 32 miles round trip. Most of the time I work midnight shifts.

 

Wondering how many of you commute to work on your bike, how often and how many miles.

If been riding to work about 2 days a week. At the job site I'm on now it's 130 miles round trip.

For 130 mile round trip It would have to be snow or ice to keep me from riding. Gas cost to much to take the truck.

 

Yea.... Worst part about the truck is its a 93 f-250 4x4 with a 460ci and some trans problems. Hitting 10mpg depending on the way the wind blows.

I mainly take the bike to beat the la traffic though.. It's much worse than gas prices

 

I ride to work everyday unless it's raining hard. About 20 miles each way.

 

^^^ That pretty much is my case too. Left the bike home today because we're having some big storms this morning. I work second shift. Naturally, it didn't rain today and would have been a very nice ride in. First time since I got the bike and got legal (about 2 weeks) that I haven't ridden to work. I really missed it. Will see how the radar looks tomorrow.

 

I ride weather permitting. 11 miles to work (1:30 PM), over 50 degrees when I come home (12:30 AM) its 16 miles, over 70 degrees can be as many as a 70 mile ride home.

I ride when I can. I work nights so ride in with sunlight and home around 10 at night. Deer all over the place so take it pretty easy going home. 18 miles each way.

 

I ride to work every day I can. Temperature is not usually an object. I rode my Rebel all winter, even when the temps got into the mid 20's. If it's raining when it's time to go, I don't ride. If the forecast calls for rain, it's a toss-up. Yesterday, it called for rain, wasn't raining when i left for work, didn't rain a single drop all night. Wasted a good ride. Tonight, no rain, so i rode. It's raining now at 2am. I m hoping for clear weather at 7am on my 9.5 mile ride home. I have a rain suit if it's wet. Even waxed my visor to try and get the rain to not stick to it so much. I couldn't find my Rain-x.

 

Don't use Rain-x on your visor, it discolors it. Use Pledge instead.


I also ride into work, 50 miles round trip. Unless it is raining hard before I leave,snow, ice or temps below 20 degrees.

 

I'm only about 50 miles round trip but if it's not going to rain, I'm going to ride.
I just love the gas savings!

 

I ride weather permitting, all highway, no deer maybe a cop or two but its not like im pulling a hundred or anything... 80 miles round trip

I ride 2-3 times/ week. I will be more soon, wife got a much better job but no more company car I work random shifts about & it's 54 miles round trip.
Once I get a tablet I will ride even more. It's a pita to carry my laptop

 

7 miles round trip rain or shine (mostly shine in LA)

 

I don't ride to work because I don't have a job -- thank God.

I don't have a job because I'm retired -- thank God.

I do ride every day because I've got nothing better to do -- thank God.

When I wasn't retired and did have a job I'd ride to work. No thanks to God. ;-)

 

I commuted 46 miles round trip from 7/2005 until 4/2010, then worked from home till 3/31/11 and RETIRED too. Usually 6 days a week unless it was pouring when I left for work in the am.
Now I ride most during the week while most are working and thus the traffic is lighter.

 

I ride when weather is good 72 miles round trip

 

Ride every chance I get, even if it might rain. If it rains while I'm at work, no biggie as it some times passes. If it's still raining when I get off work (varies from 9pm to 11pm) what can ya do. Very brief commute, just used google map to see precisely how far away it is.. 3.7km or, 2 miles lol..very brief!

I always make sure to get a proper ride in before work, feels like less of a waste of a day if I do one of my usual 50-70km rides prior, if nothing else at least a ride into town for cigs.

 

I ride 1.5 miles to work except for heavy rain, or below about 30 degrees. I live and work near the edge of a metropolitan area, so will often leave a little early and take a 10-30 mile ride in the countryside. I feel like my bike is cheated if I just go straight to work, it barely gets warmed up.

Whenever the weather is favorable I ride to work.. about 100 miles round trip of which about 90 of that is on the interstate..

 

Nearly every day. I know it is going to pour today, so I'll take the car (assuming it starts)

 

28 miles one way into Wash DC, so always an excitement with the cage critters. Have 4 X 4 P/U, so scooter always prefered.

Down to 45 deg. 5. Will not start out in rain or with a rain forcast above 50%, unless I can see it on the radar.

.

 

Every day, about 16 miles one way. Much better than taking the truck and way more fun.

 

Yes. 10 mile round trip. I tend not to head out in the rain but I'll go on the bike when there is a good chance of showers in the forecast.

 

If it wasn't for the ride to work I wouldn't have a bike right now. As much as I've wanted a bike for a long time I just couldn't justify spending the money for something I would ride here and there. If I can ride to work 14 times per month the money I save in gas from not driving my truck pays for the bike.

That was how I convinced the wife. I was spending the money anyways, this way it goes towards a bike instead of into the gas tank of my truck.

With a 65km round trip commute I've gone from $13 and change per trip to around $3.50 per trip.

 

I ride everywhere everyday... Lol

 

I ride to work as often as the weather allows. I have an 84 mile round-trip commute to Portland (don't really care for city driving), so when there is a significant threat of rain, I usually take the truck. With the recent monsoons we've been getting here in New England, I've only taken the bike to work 3 or 4 times in over 2 weeks... :-\
