just pointing out im in the midwest but yeah the reason I took pains to mention collar was to let it be known how close it was to the city. it borders it. that being said biking was great when I lived in lisle which is near napervilled and when at urbana which is in the middle of the state. so im not sure at what level you consider it a suburb. from your description a bike would be perfect for fast food and grocery trips (maybe doing a daily one over whatever 15-20 bags is for you. for me that many bags would be monthly). I would say the gym but you could cancel that and save the doh if your biking. work is doable but not for the average joe (although the subject here is e-bike and that would be perfectly doable). that would take some dedication. also I don’t only bike for transportation. I think maybe you thought I meant for all transportation. the point of the original posting article is that folks with an e-bike will use it on the shorter trips rather than driving where they might not bike otherwise. it reduces car use, it does not replace it.
