Tempe, AZ - Office is just under 2 miles from my house. I usually bike, which takes ~10 (leisurely) minutes.

The heat can be a problem in the summer, but if I offset to go earlier in the morning and return earlier in the day, I can ensure I'll be sweaty at home in the evening, rather than at work at the start of the day.

I live and work in Redwood City, CA, USA. I live 1.2 miles from work. It's a 6-8 minute bike ride, which I prefer, but I usually drive my wife to the train station, which is a block from where I work, and then I drive the rest of the way to work, which takes me about 9 minutes total.

Boston, MA -- 10 miles each way, and 95% of that's on a bike path. By bicycle, 35-40 minutes each way, up to an hour in heavy snow / poor road conditions. By motorcycle, anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on route and traffic. By train, 12 minutes.

43 miles away, through rural country roads in Gloucestershire, UK. It's a contracting gig so tolerable, but i'm looking forward to cutting it down again.

Was awful until a couple of weeks ago as it was dark when I left and when I got home. It's now light both ends and the countryside looks beautiful.
