    How long to get to work - ONE WAY

    From the lanesplitting thread, I thought I'd do a little investigating.

    25km each way, 25-30 minutes, with reasonably aggressive filtering. Same trip no traffic, 15 minutes.

    In traffic, up to 2 hours in a cage. Particularly coming home at night.

    Sheesh

    I was still busy with the poll options, and JR replies!
    I guess I'm lucky, I travel by car, and it takes me about 4 minutes.

    About 20 minutes (via the tourist route), although I've done it in about 14. After hours, on a weekend, taking the shortest route, it is a 15 minute car trip, although I've once taken 90 minutes by car, 1 km of which took an hour....

    Only once - not like those other morons who haven't yet worked out you can walk 4 times as fast as that...

    If I take the car, in order to use the transit lane I have to be the taxi service, so it takes 30-35 minutes with two drop-offs. By bus, with a short wait to change buses, it takes about 25-30 minutes.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I used to do that when in Christchurch - take the most roundabout route if it was a good day and I was earlyish. Several days I got up to over 160 on the way to work Good way to start the day. (Yeah - I know it's very naughty. My bad.)

    I tried several different routes when getting to work here, before finding the one I take now. It's not the most direct route, but involves the fewest stops, 5 fewer traffic lights, and less sitting in traffic crawling along. "Keep moving" is the name of the game. Plus it incorporates up to 18 right-angle corners, which is why my tyres don't end up flat-spotted.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Serious hard out thrash on the MTB, approx 20mins.
    Nice cruise with wheelies along the way on the MTB, approx 40mins.

    If you want the motorbike figures, 12mins legal time or around 7mins if in a hurry...

    I normally pushbike to work (at uni) which takes around 10-15 minutes, if it is raining I'll normally take my motorbike which takes around 5-10 minutes depending on traffic and how light my wallet feels.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    Around 10 - 20 mins to work, around 7 mins to Uni.

    I usually ride my motorbike or if I'm going out I take the bus or get a ride. I must confess last Friday I went and had a couple of glasses of wine after work and felt a fuzzy - not good. :disapint:
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    You've been warned about getting drunk and feeling fuzzies before! Don't make me lodge that court order!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
