Are you thinking km? I would think riding 20 miles = 32km daily is more of a bike enthusiast thing, at least in Germany.

- derkades 3y agoAlso in NL I feel like 10km (one way) is already more than most people are willing to cycle daily.
- wkat4242 3y agoYeah totally. The supermarket would never be more than 1 or 2 km away.
- reubenmorais 3y agoThe EU Commission says [0] 3km is the average bike trip length in most European countries. They reference this other EU funded study [1] on replacing short car trips with walking and cycling, which says: > The willingness to cycle over longer distances differs between countries, but in general we should not expect people to use a bike for transport on distances longer than 3-5 km. Both are from before the e-bike boom. A 2019 Dutch study [2] says the average e-bike commute trip is ~8.5km, which indicates a rough doubling of the conventional bike range from 3-5km to 6-8km. Notably, commutes are significantly longer than all other ride types in the Dutch study, even with e-bikes.
