I guess I could sell my car and commute entirely by ebike 30 miles a day. I’d technically make it eight weeks if I did that. Wouldn’t even lose my trailer! Might even be able to eat!
Like, kind of? That’s both ways, so 15 miles one way means I could use a decent level of pedal assist. Regulations mean my ebike can’t go faster than 25mph, but as long as I’m not on the highway that’s fine.
Also, I’d be taking mostly farm-to-market routes. Lots of 35mph roads, mostly gravel (fortunately I have mountain bike tires and shock absorbers so gravel isn’t really that bad). I’ve done this a few times, but doing it every day… forever because I sold my car would be seriously challenging. Especially in bad weather! I’m in Iowa, it snows tons out here!
I mean.

Is that at all feasible?

Ah, see, turns out we are in similar situations, including climate wise. Hence the original question
