Somewhere between 2.9 miles (Direct) - 12 miles (Indirect). The route
depends on how tired I am, how much time I've allowed to get to work and
what the weather is like.

How about just Seaham to Sunderland by the coast road and then a Metro
into Gateshead? Of course this would mean locking a bike up all day in
Sunderland! As this journey would be a flattish 6 miles you could even
use a folding bike and take it on the Metro and then cycle the final bit
in Gateshead.

12.5 minutes door to door.
Maybe 10 minutes if I jump all the traffic lights.
18 minutes home again because it's uphill.

6 miles round trip minimum. Takes about 25 minutes usually but a
little less if I'm particularly well motivated.
