I have biked to work in many towns. Like Tampa FL, Dallas TX, Kanasa City, Columbus OH. The ranges have been from 6 miles to 70 miles. With a commute of 35 miles each way you'll really need to build up to that commute. But 6 to 10 miles each way is not a problem for most people. Right now I have just changed jobs and now only have a 6 mile commute. I'm really liking the commute now but fell like I'm cheating LOL.
