    I’ve got 12 km to work, a bit hilly, takes a bit under 30 minutes in favorable conditions. Parts of it have good bicycle infrastructure and parts of it do not. It’s the best alternative for me during spring, summer and autumn, but I’m currently not biking during winter as transit becomes too good of an alternative for biking to make sense.

    I’d say that 17 km is doable, but compare it to your alternatives of course. Note that you don’t have to bike every day either, it can be a few days a week for the fun of it/for the exercise.
