This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

With the average commute to work in the US being 16 mi one way, The average speed of riding a bicycle in the city being 15 mph, that makes the average commute to work just over an hour long (over 2x the 27 minutes it takes in a car). If you work in a job that requires you to be presentable, then you need to add another 15 minutes to take a quick shower and change (if your workplace even has such facilities).

Obviously, this changes with e-bikes, but there's not really a practical difference between most modern e-bikes and an electric moped.

You'd be surprised how much easier that is with a battery and electric motor.

Also make sure you get groceries as well, I'm sure a weeks worth you'll be good to carry back.
