Brother I live a 25 minute drive to the closest grocery store.
On a bike that'd easily be 1.5 to 2 hours each way.
To get enough groceries on a bike to last a month I'd have to make at least 8 trips, probably double that. Its 104°f today.
straight up you're asking me to die of heat stroke
Electric bikes go pretty quick. If that’s mostly backroads, you’d probably get about the same time. If you’re hitting highway, there’s no comparison though. My 15m car commute is a 25m e-bike commute, and I don’t show up all sweaty and gross like I would on a regular bike. I can only do that about 8-9 months of the year though, the rest of the time it’s car or don’t go to work.
Thanks for doing data. I could never.
