    I was sitting in traffic today, and wondered .. so how far do most CPians have to commute to get to work ? I myself have to travel 60 miles one way, and it takes about 1.5 hours on average.

    2 miles, 5 minutes by car. However, it takes 10 minutes to park :( Todd Smith

      Definitely a good attitude to have Joao and while we all know this in our more lucid moments it's always good to be reminded that it does not good to get worried about things. They always seem to work out regardless of how much we worry. As the man said, "Worry is like interest paid on a debt that never comes due."

          8 and a half miles, according to MapQuest! Takes me about 10-15 minutes ish, depending on whether I stop to give anyone a lift in to work -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                  Hmm. Tough to say without measuring. I'd say about 40 feet from my bedroom door to the office door :) Commute time? Well there was this one morning where I first went to the kitchen to get a coke. Took me like 3 freakin' minutes to get to work! :eek: Completely unacceptable! I then purchased a small fridge for the office so that I never have to suffer through that kind of nightmarish commute again. Now, it takes about 30 seconds to get to work :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Please note that the opinions expressed in this correspondence do not necessarily reflect the views of the author.

                    7 miles through some glorious but flat countryside. If I cycle 20-40mins depending on how eager I am (so 40 mins!). 45mins if I drive. Jeremy Davis http://www.astad.org

                      Um, 75 feet. Maybe less. Say 5 minutes or so. If I have to drive for some reason, max, 20 minutes. In *very* bad traffic, btw. Have I made you feel bad yet? :)

                                About 25km each way to the office I'm in at the moment... About 1 hour in traffic, 30 minutes normally Our main office is 10km from my front door, again 1 hour in traffic (heading into the centre of the city) 10 minutes normally... Then again, I sometimes take the long way to work, when I'm in my car and not my girlfriends car, it's more fun that way :) Senior Test Engineer GLI Australia www.gli.com.au

You are either a really fast biker, or a really slow driver.... The drive is slow because of all the parents taking their kids to school. My drive time goes down to 15-20mins when the schools are on holiday. Also when on a cycle track which is on the pathement, I don't have to stop for some traffic lights, also the cycle track goes a shorter quicker route through countryside that cars just couldn't get down!
