Then I moved when I got the job I have now and this new distance is 30 miles one way. I still commute by bicycle, though now I most often load the bike onto the car and drive part way.

Just because you live too far away to ride your bike every bit of the distance doesn't mean you necessarily have to stop riding to work and back.
