I got an ebike recently to try and enjoy riding and not be stuck in a car as much. To be honest with you guys riding around with cars on the road in my US town is terrifying even still.

Eagerly awaiting when we get more interconnected bike paths that have less interactions with cars.

I love my e-bike, but I definitely have to keep routes in mind when riding. The big stroads across town don't have bike lanes, and I don't think I'd be comfortable with just a painted one on such a busy road.

Ebikes are the way for me as well. I would love to ride transit more but it's so inefficient in my city. For a lot of trips I make biking is more convenient even than driving

I wish I could ride to work. Unfortunately, there is no route other than taking a left turn on a 4-lane highway. That is not safe on a bike.

Supposedly my city is adding a pedestrian underpass that would connect my work to home, but that's been planned for 4 years now, so I don't think they're making any work on it.
