- AtlasBarfed 2y agoIt's like skiing. I was enthusiastically biking 5 miles to work in ski pants and parka and gloves down to about 5 degrees. I hated driving to work. It was actually colder, because the car is cold, doesn't heat up much, and it's cold walking from car to work. 20 miles would be a bit rough in the extremes... On a regular bike. But an e-bike? E-Bikes basically triple or more your functional range. But on a bike I was bundled up to a greater degree, and is bike right to the door of my work. I'd be a bit toasty even with the minor amount of exercise.
