I have been, during Daylight Savings Time hours, which conveniently cover the dry season and times of enough light. I don't really care to mix it up after dark with the local auto commuters. All distances one-way.
I've had a few jobs that were within 5 to 8 miles, where I customarily rode unless I needed to drive somewhere after work. A couple in the 13-15 mile range where I would stick my bike in the trunk, and ride home one day and back the next if I was able to wrap up the day soon enough. That would spread the load and reduce time pressure. One startup effort where the ride was a couple of miles at the home end to a commuter train, and then a fairly steep few miles to the founders' apartment in San Francisco. That end transitioned to a half-mile jaunt after funding.
Local traffic is starting to increase a bit. My training rides have bike lanes on the streets that have more than residential traffic, so it isn't at all nasty.
