How many miles are each of you commuting to and from work and how long does it take?

Now commuting 5 miles from Falls Church to Tyson's. I get Virgina Lane twice a day, and Gallows Road too. It will become harder as the spring comes along as.. oh, oops, I forgot to turn off after Virgina Lane, and had to turn around when I hit Gravely Point.

Some days I'm "lazy" and just walk instead of ride.

I have the same thought with errands ("I want to be lazy - I'll just walk"), but then I realized that walking actually takes longer, and more effort -- unless I try hard on the bike.

I feel guilty about this, but my commute to work is a mile . . . Some days I'm "lazy" and just walk instead of ride.

That was my situation for the four years before I moved to this area, I only biked to work one day during that period, but walked in every day, and only occasionally accepted a ride home with one of my wife's coworkers.

I had been doing 5.5-6 miles in 20 minutes on my steel bike, but now I'm going the long way regularly and racking up 12.5 miles in 40 minutes on a new bike. BUT I still ride my old bike if it's raining.

This is true. For some reason I equate getting the bike out with "effort" instead of just walking out the door. Riding is faster than walking though, and more fun.

If it rains I'll normally Metro. Those are my off days. haha
