    I have a doctor I have to see every 2 weeks. She’s an almost 4 hour round trip on public transport.

    It fucking sucks, but she’s amazing. First paycheck of new job, I’m getting a car.

        Even an escooter that you can take on the train. Depends of course on where home and doctor are.

        It can be two hours to go a 20 minute drive from suburb to suburb if PT insists on taking you via the city. A 20 minute drive is around the end of a comfortable escooter range.

          Can also take ebike on train AFAIK.

          Plus bike is good for you and can ride on the road. Would not do/say the same about scooter.

            While I happily ride my bike to work every day, I would not take it that far unless there was a shower and change of clothes at the other end.

              Swap of tshirt at work is all you need. You don’t get that sweaty riding a bike if you’re doing it everyday and just cruising. Much less on an ebike

              Racing cars is another thing…
