My Wife's work is only 8.5km from home in a straight line, but since it's on the other side of the river, the shortest route is 22km. It takes her 50 minutes to get there by bike, 20-40 minutes by car and 1-2 hours by public transport. She bikes whenever she can, but that's only when it's warm and dry, and usually not more than 2-3 times a week. On the other hand, public transport in her case means train plus two busses, which means lots of time wasted just waiting. But for most of the year, public transport is her only option.
BTW: Dad-in-law decided to celebrate today's Carfree Day by getting into his car and driving to a store that he could get to by bus in 15-20 minutes, for free.
