    In my town I ride my ebike downtown for some errands. It’s about 30 minutes each way. Not bad, so I thought what does it look like in winter when it’s going to be snowy and rainy and yuck outside? Transit would have taken me 40 minutes. Which isn’t bad at all, I would have taken it except that the 40 minute trip was 10 minutes on the bus and 30 minutes walking.

    I just rode my bike.

    I got an ebike recently to try and enjoy riding and not be stuck in a car as much. To be honest with you guys riding around with cars on the road in my US town is terrifying even still.

    Eagerly awaiting when we get more interconnected bike paths that have less interactions with cars.

      I wish I could ride to work. Unfortunately, there is no route other than taking a left turn on a 4-lane highway. That is not safe on a bike.

      Supposedly my city is adding a pedestrian underpass that would connect my work to home, but that’s been planned for 4 years now, so I don’t think they’re making any work on it.
