how long is your commute to work?

14ft as Mr. FiReSTaRT walks of 9ft climbing over angry Mrs. FiReSTaRT to get to the office :cool:
 
About 30 minutes in the morning, from Jane/Bloor to Bay/Queen. Afternoons are a joke though and can be over an hour as there's no good way home. Once a week I cut that down to about 15 seconds when I work from home. I try to ride most days, except the days I need to wear a suit.
 
75 kms each way, Caledon to Toronto. Going in is a breeze, I'm usually at my desk by 7:30 but going home can be brutal. Traffic, construction, events can turn a 45-minute ride into a 2-hour torture session.
 
About 45 Km, each way. That translates to 35 minutes in the morning, to get there, and about an hour and a quarter to get home.
 
20km, depends on traffic but 15-30mins
 
anywhere from 3" to 300km, I work from home and visit clients. Sometimes i just sit up in bed and field phone calls, sometime I drive to Windsor. Everyday is different, but i get to pick travel based on weather.
 
I used to do Hamilton to Oakville but now it's Hamilton to Kitchener. Twice as far but way more options and a lot less traffic!
 
Brampton to Markham. 45kms one way, 35 minutes, and currently $9.33 if I take the ETR. Since that starts to add up in a hurry, the 401 route @ 6:30am is 55kms and 45 minutes on a good day or 1.5 hours on a bad day. They're all bad days on the return home.
 
54 km. Takes about an hour in. Up to 3 to get home in the winter but usually more like 1.5-2 hrs. Decent distance to have some fun if it wasn't all on the parking lot we call the 401. I usually don't ride in unless I get up early because standing in traffic is worse than sitting in traffic. Not to mention the wear and tear on the clutch.
 
60km Burlington to downtown. 45min-1hr in, 1hr-90min home.

Why is it that so many of us have a much longer commute home?
How the frak does that work out? WTF?
 
I have a whopping 8 kms! Good thing I have a 32 L tank so I never have to worry about getting stranded between work and home :p
 
Brampton to Richmond Hill every day roughly 40km one way, about 45 - 50 mins on a good day, 1.5 hrs in prime rush hour on the way home.
 
Milton to Mississauga for 30kms each way. On a good day, it takes between 30 - 40 minutes. On a bad day I'm looking at an hour and a quarter. The bike is the only thing that makes it enjoyable.
 
I live in the Dundalk area (north of Orangeville) and go to work to Oakville. I take 25/Trafalgar all the way down from #89 and its about 130kms each way for about 1.5 hrs one way. Round trip at 260kms. I take the bike once in a while to ease of the gas expenses. But great routes to take. Sometimes on SR15 if I have the time to kill on the way or the way back.
 
Lucky for me it's a straight run east on bovaird all the way to the 404 and 16th. I don't use the 407 unless I really need to save time, the costs are too high. Using the street I get lots of practice at all the bike skills mixing it up with Brampton drivers and soccer moms through Woodbridge....

5 km for me.

It's about 10 min faster to get there on a bicycle, but there'll be plenty of time for that in December.
 
West Mississauga to "downtown" Mississauga. On a good day, 8 minutes. On a bad day (or with Timmies run) 15 minutes. 25 minutes by bicycle. It's a pretty sweet commute.
 
I drive from Richmond Hill to Mississauga. I'm at the mercy of the traffic Gods. I can take back roads, but anyway I look at it, it can take 45mins or as much as 2 hours.
