That's how long my bike commute is, and I've been doing it for years. However! If you're new to distance cycling, you'll feel it. If there's a way you can start off doing part of the trip, like 2km to a bus and ride the bus the rest of the way, you can gradually increasing the distance without giving yourself muscle fatigue or saddle sores.
