This is a joke, right?

If you think the "I know" part is the part about the price, then you're wrong. It's the idea of riding 30 miles (one way or round trip?) on a "comfort bike". For these kind of distance, it just won't cut it.

If 30 miles is a round trip, you could build up to it eventually if you got a road0-oriented bike, were willing to exert yourself and to spend two-three hours every day on your commute (less if you're on flat country roads, more if you're in a city with lots of traffic, lights, stop signs etc).

If 30 miles is one way... forget it! You have to be a real biking junkie to do it. Partial commute is still possible though, of course.
