45min-1 hour for one way to work is already what I do with public transport and it considered kind of standard time of commuting in Paris.
In bike it is harder I have to admit you have to be willing to spend the time and have the physical condition to do it.
The pro of taking public transport is also you can do other things while transporting even if limited but it is less tiring than driving a car or bike :)
I’d be willing to take longer, but I wouldn’t want to do the trip uncovered in the rain. Also, the highway doesn’t have a shoulder in one section, so I’d have to route around that to be safe on the bike, and I don’t know how much length that would add to the trip (and it would probably involve adding travel on unpaved / dirt / gravel roads…)

Well sure, but if you add another 2 hours to get groceries on top of your commute that becomes kind of difficult right?
