I use a bike to commute 6.5 km to work and it’s not just a good time. I do have a dedicated bike/pedestrian paved path (with few pedestrians, just a lot of other bikes) which is nice.
But in rain it sucks. And in winter it sucks even harder with the cold, and snow and ice. I have studded tires but that adds to the suck as they make you slower. I always have to shower when I get to work. I deliver and pick up in kindergarten, and there is no place to lock the kid trailer, so it adds an extra km to pick up and dump of the trailer at home.
I still use a manual as it gives me some excercise, but an electric bike would solve many of the issues.
And I save money on parking and toll. And bc of traffic I use about the same time.
Nothings perfect










I work in a government capacity in my country and I have a NDA in law form.
I can ask an applicant anything relevant to their application. Trade secret and all, and they MUST supply the answer. But I am obliged by law not to divulge anything that that could be sensitive for the company if it were to be know to the competition.
Anyone can make a complaint about my apartments handling and it would be investigated by one level up in the chain, but no one can let any trade secrets slip
