Bikes are great. Just saying.

Until you have to travel over 40 miles in any direction.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

I live car-free, and I travel over 40 miles every now and then.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Well done mate!

I don't need that: I live in a city. Suburbs suck.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Then your argument is invalid

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

What argument? I'm just saying that it works for me and many others.

Most commutes aren't 40 miles even for suburbanites. Some people get worked up for suggesting that biking is viable for a lot of us for no reason, talking about edge cases, that often could be covered by public transport.

40?

You're in better shape than I am.

Probably because he rides a bike

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No, because when it's over 40 he either uses a bus, train, plane, or someone else's car. He never said he bikes 40mi, he says "sometimes he travels 40mi."

Seems the commenter you replied to either thinks he means bikes, or was making a joke about the obvious missing information on the method of over 40mi travel.

And only some e-bikes have a built-in cell phone.

You don't have a disability. Just saying.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

there are also many disabilities that prevents one from driving. Meanwhile infrastructure that is safe for bikes would also be safe for mobility devices travel
