I've a 24 km commute in Dublin in Ireland. It's most consistent by ebike.
Driving can take anywhere from 35 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic.
Public transport takes 90 minutes and there is only a direct bus a couple of times a day, otherwise it will take closer to two hours.
On my bike it consistently takes an hour.
I can take various green ways through parks and try to minimise my exposure to aggressive drivers and get some good exercise even on an ebike. The only issue is picking up a puncture which has been an issue with my new tyres lately. It's important to invest in good equipment if you can.
- ihaveajob 4y agoPredictability is an important factor, and yes, bikes are better at that. By the way, try a vinyl liner between the tube and the tire for puncture protection. Since I started doing this, my puncture rate has fallen easily by 90%.
- knolan 4y agoI think I just need to get the same puncture resistant tyres I had on it previously which were excellent. The current ones where whatever the LBS had in stock.
- nmca 4y agoI have run schwalbe marathon pros on a variety of bikes & have never gotten a fast puncture on one despite thousands of miles. They are a touch heavy to be fair, but seems easily worth it.
