WFH for HashiCorp now, so 0 commute time! \o/
Prior to that I bike commuted probably 4/5ths of the time for 6 years in Portland, OR. Commute time was generally 30-45 minutes to go 4-5 miles each way. Quite pleasant most of the year, but Jan-Mar were awful. Employers always provided a place to lockup bikes otherwise it would have been a non-starter.
The other 1/5th of the time would be by public transit when I lived close to that, and then car pooling with a coworker when I didn't. I think I drove my own car to work perhaps a dozen times in 6 years.
I'd estimate biking added 10-15 minutes each way over driving, but that may not be true now that traffic has gotten more congested in Portland.
(While 0 commute time is nice, I was in far better shape when I was commuting!)
