When this thread started I'd commute 5 miles to work, so 50 a week... now I do 10, so 100 a week... but before I broke up with girlfriend who practically lived in the countryside i was doing 15 each way... although last week I was seriously slack and only did 1 day!
Oh and even though my work is next door to one tube station and I live nextdoor to another, with only one change between them cycling is faster, and that's not even considering the times the tube is FUBAR'd...
Oh but on the origianl question I'd say people who don't cycle but are thinking about it would only consider distances of about 3 miles... When I was an overweight teenager I thought the 4 miles I was doing to college was herculean.
