    Thats always a point I make to people quoting commute times. It takes me 30mins to commute. To me that is my door closing until I am at my desk in work, 30mins total, "in the saddle" time is 20mins. I hear people fooling themselves, "oh I live outside dublin and commute but actually it is only 45mins", so I ask when they start, -maybe 9am, and then say "so you close your door at 8.15?

    THEN you find out the truth, they are out at 6, walk to a bus, wait, go to a train station, wait, train takes 45mins, walk to bus stop, wait, then another bus, then a walk to work.
    Well, this is one of the big things that spurs me on. The bus trip is technically quicker than my cycle to work.
    However, a day's commuting on the bus goes like this:
    Up at 7.40. Shower.
    Walk to bus stop for 8:10. Get bus 5-10 minutes later.
    Get onto quays for 8:45.
    Spend 15 minutes walking to work.

    On the bike it goes more like this:
    Get up at 7:50. Pack bags.
    On the bike at 8:00.
    Into work at 8:40. Shower.
    At desk at 8:55. Eat breakfast.

    The trip home is even better.
