One of the real nice things about the rural south is short commutes. I lived in Houston a number of years ago and had to ride about an hour each way.
Presently I commute about 25 to 30 min each way.
Think it could be biked in around 45 min.
A number of studies have found average commutes in the US to be around 20 to 30 min.
The coast and big cities the ride expands to around an hour.
