I am amazed at some of the distances and the time taken to travel to work.3.5 hours per day = 210 minutes per day = 4200 minutes per month (20 work days) = 50400 minutes per year = 1.14 months of the year you spend travelling.
So take a calendar and trow one of the months in the bin, because you are wasting that just getting to work.
My previous employer moved to Cape Town so I left the company after 11 years purely because if I can't ride to work on my bike then I don't work there.I am amazed at some of the distances and the time taken to travel to work.
Mine is an 8km journey that takes approximately 20 minutes in either direction
From Home to Work - Driving (20km journey)
5:15am - 20 minutes
5:30am - 30 minutes
7:20am - 90 minutes
8:00am - 60 minutes
8:10am - 50 minutes
8:30am - 40 minutes
From Work to Home - Driving
3:00 pm - 25 minutes (40 minutes on a Friday at this time)
5:00 pm - 40 minutes
5:30pm - 40 minutes
5:50pm - 30 minutes
Before leaving work, I check maps.google.com and routes.tomtom.com to see when it's a good time to leave.
