on one hand, bicycles are indeed very epic. on the other - if you plan on going somewhere that’s >30min away by bike (and not up a hill) and don’t want to arrive sweaty, then maybe the bus is better
Depends. Where I live, it takes me:
100 minutes to walk to work,
60 minutes by bus (direct connection),
40 minutes by train (actually 10 min by train and 30 min walk to the station and to work),
30 minutes by car in rush hour traffic, and
25 minutes by bicycle
>30min away by bus could sometime mean adding 30/40 min to wait time. Bus in a lot of places is awful as they have a route to follow and still stuck in traffic. Bad bus frequency is very common in places with shitty public transport.
On the other hand, depend on where you live, pedal assist ebike is awesome and you are less likely arrive sweaty, even if >30min away.
