I'm not sure what part of the country you live in, but here in southern california a huge number of people live within reasonable car free commute distance. It's almost certainly easier to manage than in Ohio due to the weather and public transit on top of biking.
Median commute distance is 10 miles (which is a reasonable e-bike commute depending on route) https://scag.ca.gov/sites/main/files/file-attachments/ej_jhfit_scag_2021trb.pdf?1612993870 https://scag.ca.gov/sites/main/files/file-attachments/ej_jhf...
Almost 1 million daily public transit riders: https://www.metro.net/about/l-a-metro-surpasses-900k-daily-riders-in-september-achieves-highest-daily-ridership-since-pandemic/ https://www.metro.net/about/l-a-metro-surpasses-900k-daily-r...
- michaelmrose 3y agoYou dont hit the interstate on your bike you cant just take the existing commute and do it on a bike most places. Also Southern CA isnt the country or even very representative. Why did you think virtually nobody commutes via bike?
- mayneack 3y agoThe comment I was replying to explicitly used socal as their example of unbikable. That's why I am talking about it. Many socal commutes are unbikable, but not the "vast majority" and even fewer when you extend to other car free options. I biked to work this morning in LA (4 miles of surface streets).
