Where do you ride? What’s your route to work?
Create a map of your bike route on one of the bike mapping sites such as Bikely, Veloroutes, or Routeslip. Post a link to your route below.
I’ll go first: this is my short ride from the Caltrain Station in Palo Alto, CA to my office. Bikely says this is 3 miles; my bike computers all say it’s closer to 4. If I have the time, I’ll sometimes extend my ride by cycling to another train station farther away.
When I’m by myself I usually take it easy. Most mornings, though, I ride with “Mike.” He’s a young guy on a mountain bike, and every ride is a hammerfest for him. He seems content to let me draft as he pulls me along at nearly 30 mph.

Here’s my route to work. Just 5K, and I tend to take my time to keep the sweat factor down. The ride home can follow any number of routes (OK, maybe three).

Here’s some from the crew over at Faster Mustache:

I have a 7 mile one way ride, flat and fast, but it is on a major road so sometimes it can be rather scarey. I avoid the first couple of weeks in September as there is a high school on my route, you can guess why from there…

I did a photo journal entry of my daily commute last spring.
I did a “cowboy” ride, (one hand steering, the other for the camera), and snapped some random shots of the route. I do have it on google maps, but the story is always better in pictures.

Dan: I used to have a 20 mile commute across Champaign County in Illinois.
Faster Mustache: I couldn’t tell what cities those routes were in. I probably missed something.
Drew: What’s a “Barnegat”??
John: Nice photo essay. Here’s a series of photos of my previous bike commute in Colorado. 1-4 are morning, 5-8 are the trip home. And here’s a video of part of my current commute.

Oh hell yes. Anyone who reads my blog should be no stranger to Veloroutes!
I usually kick my morning off this way:
Home to bus stop
Downtown bus stop to work with a bit of coffee on the way
I don’t have a “usual” route in the evening, but I have some routes I use more than others.
Sometimes I get dropped off where my wife works and go straight home
Other times I get coffee on the way
Then there’s some monday nights that I ride a few miles from the bus stop to a group ride location, put 10-15 miles on with the group, then ride another batch of miles (11-12) to get home or to the college where my wife works.

here’s my ~11 mile work commute from seattle to downtown bellevue: http://veloroutes.org/bikemaps/?route=562
i get to cross lake washington, which offers great views of mount rainier on the way in, that is IF it’s a clear day… not today though, we’ve got a nasty rain-snow mix…. yuck.
