20 miles is very do-able on an electric bike. Decent models with 100 mile ranges are now around the $1,800 mark. Also, people live far from where they want to go because they (and city officials) have planned their lives around easy access to a car. You might think twice about accepting a future job 40 miles away if fuel prices doubled, or a new toll was constructed along that route.
