Commuting by SS/FG

Distance-wise, a lot of bike people I've talked to have said beyond 13-15 miles each way it can be real slog, even if you're keen. I'm using this as a guide to how far out of town I can move!I currently do a 7 mile each way ride and that's sub-30 mins, so my maths says that's up to an hour each way at a maximum.

I've gone into work at 6am a fair bit recently and the upside is the roads are nicer to ride on. Even zone 2 roads you can ride flat out for 10 minutes plus. (Not as good as late night though!)

@Dynamicalsystem, sounds like we do the same route - though sometimes I duck out of the hill and ride through Lewisham/Deptford instead (particularly if the park is closed).

I am currently riding geared but rarely change gears!

I was doing 13 miles each way for quite a few years, I'd do a further commute but would have to have some sort of option to train one way if desired or take a few days off. I Did a while 17.5 one way 13 back and that was not too bad. If I was living outside London so there for less stop start I'd up the 13 -16 miles limit my a couple of miles.

A guy I was working with this year said he worked in Canary Wharf Evans, apparently there was some guy who worked there that cycled in from Kent, (proper Kent out side the M25) work then cycle back to Victoria and catch a train. Pretty crazy but moust have got him fit!
