What is the farthest distance you think is a reasonable commute on a bicycle?

• jlarocco 15y ago
  It's a personal preference, really. Right now I ride 3.5 miles to work, and, when it's not snowing, usually 15-30 miles after work. I wouldn't mind 15 miles each way, but I'm not sure I'd do it in snow.

  Currently doing 20 miles each way a day, usually just over an hour. I think this would be unreasonable for many people; but I'm happy to detour and make it even longer, it's a lovely rural route. I guess for most people though, however far they can comfortably ride in 30 mins is a reasonable commute, and this varies greatly with fitness. Due to the geography of where I am, there's no direct train or bus, and they take me longer than the bike. I do take the train in winter, to avoid commuting in the dark (again this is rural, so by dark I mean DARK)
