Well, after 8 years of living in London, I move to Northampton tomorrow.
I will be riding the M1 to London every day (great time of year to start the commute!) and am already really looking forward to the summer weather to arrive!
So how far do other people ride every day?
My commute will be about 60 miles each way - I’ve tried it a couple of times and it’s not too bad. If I lived in NE London, the tube to Marylebone would probably take as long plus I get the benefit of not living in NE London
I do 30 miles each way - 3 or 4 days a week in the car, 1 or 2 on the bike. Part of the journey is J16 to 11 of the M25 and it is starting wear me down:(
If im going to/ from home its 13 miles, if im staying with my girlfriend its 40 or so miles from Chelmsford!.. Not too bad to be honest, assuming the weather is ok and the traffic isnt solid all the way!
At the moment i do 20 miles each way which takes me about 30 mins into Knightsbridge, but tonight it took me 1 hour 15mins, the traffic up the Finchley road was full of couches.
My commute is 6 miles, should be 20-30 mins top but can get longer when going into Central during rush hour…which is almost all the time except after 11pm in the evening
Bloody hell,120 mile round trip…i’d love it in the summer!
I do a 12.7 mile trip which is normally 25min ish, a guy who works at our place drives the same way but a mile longer he takes anything from 45mins to 2 HOURS (that was a BAD day on the A13 :D)
I moved just out of London and my commute changed from 7.5 miles to 26 each way. I have to use the M1 as well, but fortunately, I only use the bit after the roadworks (J6-J10). You’re in for a nasty time at those junctions, and I’m afraid the work has another year or two to go The roadworks are governed by some SPECS cameras which you don’t have to worry about on a bike, but the problem is that the other drivers around you go a bit crazy in that section and start switching lanes like nutters.
