20min is a lot.
If it takes me 20min to walk somewhere, I bike instead.
If it took me 20min to bike somewhere, I consider how to plan it into my day.
I am absolutely willing to bike up to 1h, an did so to school for years, it's not something spontaneous anymore. All of that is of course more complicated, daily commutes feel longer, greenery makes it feel shorter.

I don't bike unless I have to carry cargo or it's going to take more than an hour to walk, because of how hostile and aggressive drivers have become. I miss just getting on my bike without a care.
