10 miles is 16km. In the Netherlands that would not be a normal commute. Our country is pretty small and although it's flat it can be really windy. And rainy.

Usually people commuting with pushbikes would be doing 5km or so. For more you'd get electric. Or even a speed pedelec which is a faster type.
