I work in 2 locations… one is 56 miles from my home which takes about 1 hour, 15 minutes; the other is 44 miles, which takes about an hour. I have commuted over 40 miles for most of the past 2 decades, so I’m used to it.
Right now, I love my job, and most of my ride is opposite the heaviest traffic flow, so I don’t mind too much… but the cost of fuel is killing me!
I used to commute about 45 miles with the heaviest traffic on a 5-lane superhighway, and that was incredibly stressful. Bumper-to-bumper at 70–80 miles per hour, because if you allowed half a car length between you and the car in front, someone would squeeze their way in! It was like driving NASCAR but a little slower, with a lot less safety gear and most drivers with a lot less skill!
