C. Car.

The car is the fastest way to commute. It takes me 30 minutes to walk to work. It takes 45 minutes to walk to work in the snow.

A. 22204 (S. Arlington)
B. 20006 (West End DC)
C1: Bike - 35-40 minutes depending on wind
C2: Car - 25-45 minutes depending on traffic
C3: Metro - 45-1:15 depending on transfer timing

I take my bike as long as the weather is decent and I don't need to wear a suit that day, otherwise car or metro depending on the rest of my schedule.

Yeah, I've definitely done some slipping and sliding on my walk to the train station when it has been icey. But I have to admit, Summer is worse when the temps and humidity are high....by the time I arrive at the train station, I'm drenched. Luckily I have a Metrobus stop within a five minute walk so I can change up the commute and take the Pentagon bus and then Metro into downtown.

Agreed, why start a thread you don't participate in?

Home 20170 (Herndon)
Work 22314 (Old Town Alexandria)

AM 45 to 50 minutes leaving the house at 6:45 am
PM 50 to 55 minutes leaving the gym at 6:15 pm

Summer, subtract 5 minutes from each. My route is sometimes varied, but the standard is Leesburg Pike > 495 > Telegraph Rd.
