Age and commute distance?

I no longer commute but I had a 36 mile R/T commute that I rode off and on for about ten years. The last three years of working I used an e-bike. It was the same overall effort but it cut the travel time. It was easier to endure the rain so I rode more often.

I went full time telework in 2017 at age 57. Before that my commute was nine miles each way. It took quite a while to get over how much I missed it.

Age and Commute Distance
I am 39, and I commute about 6mi each way.
Do I get bonus points for riding from Brooklyn through to TImes Square/Port Authority ? (Probably the most hazardous pedestrian filled, bicycle unfriendly route I've ridden!)

I used the Manhattan Bridge to cross, which did you?

Until the pandemic, I was commuting about five miles each way. I'm 59 years old. The longest bike commute I had was 13.4 miles each way. I didn't do it every day.

36 age, 34 miles round trip. At one point it was closer to 40 round trip but it limits how many days a week the knees will take. At this point I havent been able to crack 90 miles in a week.

I'm 44 years old and I have a 60 km (37 miles) round trip, although if I stick purely to bike paths, it's 70 km (43 miles). I am lucky to have dedicated bike paths (mostly unshared; there are pedestrian/jogging lanes beside them 90% of the time) to ride, so I don't have to worry about traffic too much.
