When working on site I've never had as little as a 26 minute commute. Best I've has was 35 to 40 minutes. Favourite was one site I could cycle to mainly on a canal towpath about 10 miles each way. Made me much fitter.

>>Well, much better than Orlando - it took me 90 minutes and three buses to get from Maitland to the airport, with a lot of planning, had to print several pages of the schedule (and then skipped a line when jumping from page to page, so I was late for the flight - but the good guy there got me into another flight and I eventually got home 15 minutes earlier than planned :).
