Haven't done the new route yet, but 11.4km according to google maps. At an average of 19.2 km/h that should take around 36 mins.

10 minutes usually. Took me about 20 minutes once after a crash (not me).

Anything over 30 minutes is too much, life is to short.

Swords to Mount St:

If I leave before 7, 1 hr. If I leave after 7, 1.5 hrs.

Mount St to Swords: If I leave at 5, and take the tunnel, 30-45 mins. If I leave at 5 and don't take the tunnel, 1.5 hrs+

Greystones to Citywest; 35 minutes in, 40/45 minutes home. Leave about 6.45 in the morning, head home about 3.30.

Used to do the same journey by public transport, took from 2 hours 30 upwards....

Swords -> Inns Quay 45 mins. It can be an hour or so longer whenever a muppet crashes in Dublin and brings the city to a halt.
Public transport -> Tara St. then a bit of a walk.

7 minutes on my scooter
I'm telling you, a scooter or motorbike is the only way to get around a city quickly, I'm amazed more don't do it.
It's safer than cycling too

It depends whether irishrail are having a worse than normal day
Normal day- 60 minutes
Worse than normal day - 90 minutes

If the train actually showed up on time it should take around 45-50 minutes

35-40 minutes, Clondalkin to Newbridge. Nice journey, but not if you're going the other way.

Moved house last week. Chopped 5 minutes off my commute, so 25 minute cycle now.

Work is moving premises in two weeks, which will add those five minutes back on

We were told at work that our office is moving to the northside several of the staff have moved house to be near the new office, now the move has been delayed for 18 months! One guy now has a commute of 55 minutes, up from about 10 before he moved.
