Riding a bicycle 33 miles each way in 1.5-2 hours made a massive improvement in my life over the same trip taking 45 min to 1 hr in a car. I did that one for a year before getting a closer job with a 6 mile commute each way. I haven’t needed a DL in 14 years, but that is SoCal weather too. Rain is no problem, but I won’t ride in sparkys.
I am extremely skeptical of the claim that you were able to maintain a speed of 17-22 mph for 1.5-2 hours straight twice a day every single work day for an entire year. At the very least, this is not a solution that most people are capable of without a long period of intensive training.
Electric bikes make that a breeze. I have all but replaced my car with an E-bike. I’m looking into a cargo E-bike, cause that would allow me to sell my cars. Sure I may need a car once or twice a year at that point, but I can rent a cab or a car as needed. That by itself will save me about $6000 a year on insurance, not to mention the fact that I have solar panels, so I don’t pay for my electric fuel either.
Sure, but when someone says “riding a bicycle” they aren’t usually referring to an e-bike but rather a bicycle driven by their own power, or at least that is not how that phrase is generally understood.

A Chevy bolt and a Dodge sprinter. I’m already trying to sell the sprinter. I also have full coverage, not liability.
