When I was working in Chesterfield the door to door commute was 15 miles and took about an hour each way. Good days are better and bad days are worse with the greater distance.
I wouldn't do more but I know of people who do 30 each way. Depends on how you prefer to spend your own time and what you're prepared to ride through in winter.
In conjunction with the time I started and finished work that commute got a bit too much and I now set the cap at around 10 with an optimum of 7. Less than 5 is a bit too short.
