You should add a time poll too. 26 miles and about 25-28 minutes.

Edit: You are teh quick with your additional poll skills.

5 miles.

it takes me 15-20 minutes to get there on my way in because of traffic, but only 7-10 minutes to get home at night.

26 miles each way. Usually takes about 40 minutes with no traffic, up to 2.5 hours with it.

I only live about 8 miles away, but it takes between 15-20 minutes due to traffic. I can actually get to work faster if I take my bike because I can off-road and bypass the congestion.

I work from home. :)
(And no...not stuffing envelopes or selling Avon. I work for a LARGE internet company.)
It's nice...because sometimes I actually work in my pajamas...

Your work becomes farther away when you bike? :confused:

I live 4 blocks from my current job, I just walk it unless I know I'll have to go somewhere after work.

My new place is 7 miles one way.
Movin in tomorrow. I'm guessing it will take me like 20 minutes to get to work :)

For a decade I did a 30-45 minute 25 mile commute. I just recently moved into an apartment 2.5 miles from my work. Takes about 5 minutes now.

Depends on where the job site is but its usually about 25 miles give or take a few. Drive time depends on what time I start. Ive been starting at 5am so its only taking me about 35-40 minutes even with the Dan Ryan all torn up....and thats on the other side of the city (not sure on the mileage). I have no idea how long it would take me if I started at 7am. I dont even want to think about it.
