I live in the NW and I'm 13km from my work (downtown).
Biking usually takes me 30-40 minutes. Taking the train takes 30 minutes. On the rare occasion I drive it takes about 20 minutes.
I ride my bike from April-October. I love riding my bike, I'm almost exclusively on the river pathway or a dedicated path. I work from 7-4, so there's very little traffic in the morning, and but it can be a bit congested around the peace bridge area when I leave. I also love being able to go door-to-door without having to change modes of transportation.
I take the train the rest of year. It's admittedly not favourite, but with my work hours it's manageable.
