I understand your reasoning, but don't write off commuting entirely. Trying riding once or twice a week, and you might find that 32 miles/day is doable. My commute will increase from about 22 miles now to 30 miles in a couple of years, and I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up my current frequency (3-4x/week). However, I have ridden the new route a few times, and I am definitely going try riding at least 2-3x/week with the longer route. The main problem for me is the extra time it will take, about 15 minutes each way, and that means getting up even earlier in the mornings. Yuck.
