How hilly, snowy and bike-friendly is your route? Try it out on a weekend when there's no pressure to get to work or worry about smelling sweaty. In terms of distance, 17km each way is fine, you'll be able to do it but it may feel long if you're inexperienced.

Bring a towel, water and a change of clothes.
