I mean not in pedestrian and bike hostile places. But in Germany I was commuting 30km each way daily on an analog bike, no problem.

For reference, 30km is 18.6 miles.

30 miles would be 48km.

It's feasible, but it's a pretty significant time investment!

Not just a time invesent -- if you're biking 18 miles you're going to need a shower where you're going, or you're going to need a job where you can show up drenched in sweat.

And that's not factoring in rain or snow or having to transport large objects or people.

I mean considering people drive a hour each way in many places...

Yeah like, I've done it. It's not terrible.

If the weather is fine.

I wouldn't want to do it in blowing snow lol
