The least I've ridden to work and back is a little over 90 miles, but sometimes I go alot farther. But I end up in the same place.

I'm about 45-50 miles, depends on the traffic and which way I go home. If the weathers' nice, I look for "detours" or an excuse to do another errand

70 miles round trip is right to work and right home.
Rarely happens when riding weather is good 100 to 120 miles is normal then.
If in the cage 70 miles.

I do a lot of work where I have to fill up daily, but not every day. I work all over the SF Bay area. Some days I commute just 20 miles round trip, other days it's 150+

I'd never get anywhere in the cage!

Default RE: How far do you commute on your bike?

This is the first time I've lived where I worked. I used to commute to the bay area everyday (45 miles one way - but takes 1 1/2 hours). Now I commute 5 miles one way and love it. I don't have to throw the chaps on in the morning because I'm not on the road much.

Even with a 5 mile commute, it makes a long hard day feel better being on the scoot.

Default RE: How far do you commute on your bike?

When I commute on the bike I usually go about 30 miles into work, but in the aternoon I can stretch it out to about 65 miles by taking the long way home. More often than not I take the long way since there is alot less traffic and ,well, I really like to unwind after work.
