Bike? Ebike?
Even an escooter that you can take on the train. Depends of course on where home and doctor are.
It can be two hours to go a 20 minute drive from suburb to suburb if PT insists on taking you via the city. A 20 minute drive is around the end of a comfortable escooter range.
Can also take ebike on train AFAIK.
Plus bike is good for you and can ride on the road. Would not do/say the same about scooter.
While I happily ride my bike to work every day, I would not take it that far unless there was a shower and change of clothes at the other end.
Swap of tshirt at work is all you need. You don't get that sweaty riding a bike if you're doing it everyday and just cruising. Much less on an ebike
Racing cars is another thing..
Good idea actually. Will look into it.
