You say the winter temps go down to 30F. Will you see ice? If so, that's another hurdle to be addressed. (You know, if you simply told us the city, anyone who's lived and ridden there could pitch in and share their experience.)'

Simple math - 50 miles/day times 50 weeks/year is 12,500 miles. At 24 years old, I worked a simple labor job, commuted 24 miles/day (no car), raced, trained and rode 10,500 miles. (Lesser but still big mile years on either side of that year.) I loved it but I had no outside life. Something worth thinking about.
