Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6 kilometres each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, the study suggests, annual global carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.
This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.
10-20 km is an easy bike commute distance if the infrastructure allows it. Especially with electric bicycles. I’d guess that most people in the US don’t travel more than that for their daily routes.

I wouldn’t say easy. 20 km takes me an hour or more, although I am slow and don’t have an electric bike (yet).
