17km/h is a fairly relaxed pace, so you'd get to work in about an hour or less.
The question is, what is your infrastructure like? Do you have bike paths, bike lanes, snow clearing, etc. ?
You mention that you haven't biked to work, but do you regularly bike? If you're just new to cycling, then you'll probably need to build up your fitness to ride 17km without feeling like you rode 170km. But if you're an experienced cyclist who wants to bike to work, then it really shouldn't be much of a problem.
