That’s 16 miles number seemed odd to me so I did a little bit of digging and it looks like based on the 2 minutes of reading I did that number might be heavily skewed by residents of rural communities and super-commuters. Looks like people in urban areas have a shorter distance to commute which reduces the delta between car and bicycle travel time
This map seems to show that rural/urban devide pretty clearly and supports that, with many larger cities falling into that smallest <30 miles average daily travel category
