I did when I was coaching at the rec center..
About a mile each way mostly thru a park w/ a dedicated path.
I would be leery of anything involving too much street time even in a bike lane, US drivers just don't watch for cyclists.
A student in Baltimore was recently hit while in a bike lane by a driver who simply decided the bike lane was a good place to get around slow moving traffic... Driver had no idea it was a bike lane even though it was clearly marked.
A lot of people do though, my grad school even offers discounted gym memberships for those who bike commute, so they can shower before class.
