Bristol > Bath is my dream commute because of this http://www.bristolbathrailwaypath.org.uk/home.shtml
You can really put the hammer down for long stretches.
Was that open when you were doing the commute?

Yes - my commute was pretty much all cycle path through the countryside, with just a tiny bit of road at either end. My house is a 30 sec ride from the path, which is great (the other direction goes straight in to town).
It was a great commute actually. I even miss doing the pitch black run thought the woods in the winter!
This. I used to commute bristol > bath and i hated the drive. Cycling is about 13 miles each way but i worked out i only had to do it a couple of times a week to make it cheaper (including cost of bike, extra crisps mid-morning etc) than driving all week. I ended up cycling most days in the end, but it was nice to know if i chickened out for a few rainy days, i was still saving dosh.
