While selecting a permanent house in Antwerp, what should be the maximum distance we should keep in mind if we will be commuting to office every day by bike ?

May be I missed the important detail of 'keeping commute time to less than half hour one way. (keeping in mind traffic etc)'

Google Maps has a useful function where you can plan routes by car, bike and walking. I think I would try and use public transport, Antwerp road traffic in the rush hour is horrendous.

I would say ~4km max, My office is 3.7km from home i have an electric bike and it takes around 20-25mins to reach office. Better to check with google map.
