Mine varies as I am a consultant that works for a number of clients. My first commute was from the Yonge and Eglinton area up to Dufferin and Steeles. (Link here). I tried going from the same general area out Bloor to a client in Mississauga but only had that client for a short time so I did that only once. Other times my commute is from the bedroom to the home office.

In a couple weeks my commute will be from Old Town Quebec City to the Ste-Foy Technological Park. I may be going by bus/car for a while, though, as they had a ton of snow when I visited last week and seem to get anywhere between 10-30 cm ever few days as of late. As I am going by train I'll be taking my folding bike this time around which hasn't the most winter-friendly tires. So it may be mid to late March before I really get that commute going. Of course that all depends on how the season goes and how well taken care of the roads are. This'll be my first trip taking the folding bike on VIA as well - I have my fingers crossed that they'll let me on but as I'm carrying it in a bag I don't expect any trouble.

Starting soon, hopefully... I didn't get a March Metropass!

North on Tyndall, East on King, North on Shaw, East on Adelaide, North on Church to Queen. Same for the way home, but along Richmond.

I have friends that only bike along Queen... craziness I say! Too many opportunities for door prizes. Adelaide and Richmond are quick, and relatively stress free (until about September, when I want to throttle every driver who cuts me off and cyclist I see run a red light).

This year, though, I think I'm going to take the trail along the waterfront more often. Longer ride, but a nicer view :)

I start out at Gerrard & Coxwell and take Gerrard west until around River, when I swing up through the quiet and calm streets of cabbagetown to Carlton - and then take that to the College & Bay area.

Generally the reverse on the way home, but I sometimes go north and take the Viaduct and the Danforth for some variety. :)

I sadly have to work in Mississauga, so when the weather gets nice I'll be biking at MOST once or twice a week. I start out at Dupont and Dovercourt, bike west along Dundas West to Kipling, jump off and take a trail along the Humber River to Eglinton, the head west and a bit north on a number of roads in Mississauga, eventually ending up in Meadowvale. Sucks, but it's quite the workout!
