having spent some time in shanghai recently, perhaps i can have a bit of input.
i asked a colleague there how long it took him to get to work by car, and it was something like 2 hours for a 20 mile journey. I told him that I cycle commute to work in London 15 miles each way. He looked at me as if I had two heads.
So 15 miles is too much. At least it was for that guy...
I did see lots of bikes there but they were similar to the amsterdam shoppers, and i think were used for relatively short distances.
good luck...
