What do you haul in your backpack? When my commutes were 20-35 miles each way, I'd take one day a week to either drive in or ride the 'pack mule' bike with 4-5 days worth of clothing and lunches, then ride the roadie with a minimal load the other 4-5* days of the week.
Adapt, improvise, overcome...
* - you can always stage your food and clothing on the weekend too.

"Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws" - Edward Abbey
