Have you commute to work by cycling? My workplace is 17km per trip, is it consider a normal/doable distance for bicycle commute? Havent done it before

My work is 2km away from my place so I gladly commute by bicycle, though sometimes I take the bus and sometimes I walk.

I wouldn't do 17km, but 10km I might. Really the biggest factor to me isn't the distance, but the safety of the route. Though I'd guess it's hard to find 17km of contiguously safe commutes out there.
