    Slowest Commute?

    Not longest, or furthest. What is the lowest average MPH for a commute.

    My journey is 12 miles and it takes an hour. About 5 minutes walking and 55 minutes by motorcycle.

    NLyUK from the marriage bed to the room next door?

    I cycle 8 miles which takes about 45 minutes. Really I should ignore the red lights.....

          My last contract in the UK has a 45 minute 1 mile commute to the coffee shop in town via walking the kids to school and a nice stroll through the park.

            One evening last summer it took me 7 hours to drive the 13 miles from Bradford to Huddersfield. This included 6 hours on the M62, stationary, between Cooper Bridge (J25) and Ainley top (J24). It was a deeply unpleasant evening.

            Standard issue journey time is 1 hour either by car, train or bike. On that particular occasion, I could have walked in a brass diving suit quicker.

              normal commute is 6 mile 40 mins mainly down the towpath on the bike. It takes an hour by car.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Off topic!

                  Fastest commute was about 2 minutes. My first job, several years I lived so near the plant (Texas Instruments) I could hear it at night.

                    My last one was about the same speed then. 6 miles took about 25 minutes by car. I could have cycled, but I've never found a cycle with a heater, heated seats, music system, roof and impact protection.
