Just over 11 miles each way for a round trip of a little over 22 miles. Fortunately, more than half of the commute is on a dedicated trail that runs along canals (glorified large drainage ditches) and not beside roads - and under the most of the major cross roads. I ride the sidewalks/bikepaths when not on the trail, I don't trust the retirees and cell phone junkies down here in South Florida. I only get forced on to the road for a couple hundred feet of the commute. Strava says the elevation change is 24 feet. I keep the bike inside the office and in the garage at home. The bike rides: well I would have to say stiffer than expected given the frame design. I haven't dialed in the tire pressures quite yet - I am riding 45 front, 55 rear at the moment, but I believe that they can be lowered. I was riding my Rosco Bubbe V1 single speed which was geared a little high (~72), but this bike has a lot better top tube clearance.
