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.

Same, would sometimes hit the Schauinsland on the way back home just for fun

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
