I guess it's possible if you have pretty much a straight shot and don't have to stop for anything,enough to make that possible.
Yes, I guess you don't stop or slow down for red lights, stops signs, pedestrians, cars anything. But maybe you have a straight MUP from home to work. My commute is about the same length, and it takes me twice as long. But I ride in work clothes and -especially between Sept and May- don't have to change or towel off. Maybe that could be a time safer for you as well. A big routine once you get in may take you longer than slowing down while you ride and not having a big clean-up routine once you get in.
