It really just depends on how committed you are and what your lifestyle is.
I successfully lived in Atlanta, of all places, using nothing but an e-bike and public transit for an entire year, with a Lyft here or there as necessary. I got into better shape than I have been since I was a teenager too.
Biking in rainy sub-zero temps is a bit of PITA, but it builds character, and honestly there's something charming and invigorating about it if you've got the right gear.
Would love to do it again, and in fact am planning to at some point.
- chasd00 3y ago> rainy sub-zero temps how does that work exactly? I've never seen rain when temps are below zero.
- _dain_ 3y agoYou can sometimes get a temperature inversion where the air near the ground is colder than the air further up, and then the rain doesn't have time to freeze before it hits the ground. Also surfaces can be sub-zero but the air above them is above zero and vice versa.
- rjbwork 3y agoAhh sorry, I interact with WAYY too many Europeans on the internet. I just meant below freezing, usually right below, Atlanta is not that cold. I think the lowest I saw during that year was about 11F.
