Comment on Massive Study Finds a Link Between Commuting And Poor Mental Health
bitcrafter@programming.dev 11 months agoI am extremely skeptical of the claim that you were able to maintain a speed of 17-22 mph for 1.5-2 hours straight twice a day every single work day for an entire year. At the very least, this is not a solution that most people are capable of without a long period of intensive training.

Electric bikes make that a breeze. I have all but replaced my car with an E-bike. I’m looking into a cargo E-bike, cause that would allow me to sell my cars. Sure I may need a car once or twice a year at that point, but I can rent a cab or a car as needed. That by itself will save me about $6000 a year on insurance, not to mention the fact that I have solar panels, so I don’t pay for my electric fuel either.

Sure, but when someone says “riding a bicycle” they aren’t usually referring to an e-bike but rather a bicycle driven by their own power, or at least that is not how that phrase is generally understood.

A Chevy bolt and a Dodge sprinter. I’m already trying to sell the sprinter.
