Before I retired, my commute was 10.5m fairly hilly each way by bike. Average 35min going and 45 coming back. Car time, even by motorway (freeway to you) was slower to work, even without parking up, and slightly quicker from work because of more uphill work and prevailing westerlies. Shower time vs. walking to/from multi-storey carpark very slightly more.

Wallet healthier, health healthier, ride much nicer. Win/win situation all round. Was part-time cycling officer for city council, so win/win/win situation all round.

Only drawback was that I tended towards unbearable smugness, esp. the day I had a following wind and favourable traffic lights and was 2 seconds under 30min
