My present commute is only 20 mi., but I have done 40. I only ride once a week, on Wednesdays. I ride for fun, not for transportation, and SoCal freeways are not in any way fun, so I ride surface streets when I can. One one of the 40 miler commutes I had in the past, I found a route that was all surface street and a fairly fun ride, so I looked forward to that one, but most are not.

22 miles round trip on weekdays. That ride is 24 miles in a car, but riding allows me to take a shortcut through a park, and between two barricades that a car can't fit through. The police have only once admonished me that just because I've seen their bikes squeeze through, doesn't mean that I can't as well. But, the police don't usually hang out in the park, and I have a good view if they are... That trip one way is 18 minutes on a bike, 40 minutes in a car.

100 miles round trip on weekends. That ride is from Orange County to the West Side of L.A. 50 minutes one way by bike, 1.5 hours by car.

I used to work in Lake Forest and commute from Seal Beach. It was drudgery on the freeway, but on Wednesdays I'd ride and take a surface route all the way; south on PCH, east on Jamboree, to University Drive, 36 mi. of mostly bliss.
