It all depends.
I could do home to school 4 1/2 miles in 30 minutes when I was young and fit, but that involved a massive climb part at 1 in 6 of about 600 feet from he valley bottom to the high wolds, I was in no condition to do any work for an hour of so afterwards though. We could do home to town in 20 minutes 8 miles downhill, and back in an hour uphill so if you allow an hour with 30 minutes for a shower and another 30 mins before you feel like doing any work
you should not be too far out. In town Bike is about as fast as a car, faster if like I could as a teenager, you out accelerate cars from the lights. Type of bike matters, for fast journeys in town dont have a bike with low gears, 52 to 24 with 27 inch wheels is low enough, some bikes have 40 to 32 much quicker to get off and walk, but do have a high top gear, 13 teeth or 12. just use a 5/6/7 speed rear hub and single front chain ring, for the country multiple chain rings make sense but accelerating and stopping in town they are a nuisance.
Most important use toe clips to hold your feet to the pedals, bit of a pain if you cannot find something to hang on to when you stop but they greatly increase acceleration, and prevent you "missing " the pedals and falling off.

It depends on your speed dummy.
At 8mph - 1 hour
At12mph - 40 mins
At 16 mph - 30 mins
At 20 mph - 24 mins
Get the idea?

If you're going quite slow - then 45 mins
At a 'reasonable' pace - 30 mins
Sprint - 20 mins

25 minutes would be a nice steady clip of about 20 mph
