Have fun commuting 30 miles to work on that thing. Especially when there’s 8 or 10 inches of snow, -10 wind-chill, or there’s a thunderstorm rolling in. I’ve seen people do it; they look absolutely fucking miserable and it’s a miracle it doesn’t kill them.
Respect to those folks. A miserable ride is often rewarding because it’s one of those lows that is eminently temporary and gives you an appreciation for the highs, especially if you are dressed appropriately so as not to catch a cold or some such. Kind of like shoveling snow for that sweet sweet mug of hot chocolate on the sofa afterwards. But yeah, also a good city will provide alternative options for its citizens, trains, buses, rideshare even. If a 30 mile bike ride is the only alternative to driving from place A to place B, your government doesn’t want you to have any kind of freedom to choose how you get from place A to place B, if there are no affordable housing options or good job opportunities that change that equation, your government is working on behalf of the big car manufacturers and dealers to keep you enslaved in debt to them, which is pretty fucked up
Children in Norway ride their bikes to school every day, even in the snow. Are you saying you’re weaker than these literal children and need your climate controlled box to keep you comfortable? You can also choose to live closer to work if you want. Surprisingly most adults get to choose where they live.

Enter the saviour of the commuter - trains.
I like trains

Bruh I will literally just stay home if there is that much snow I’m not fucking stupid
That’s when it gets fun no bad weather just bad gear
Don’t live in the USA, simple as.
