minus-squareBigMikeInAustin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·13 days agoYeah, I’d need to start with an e-bike before eventually normal bike. Looking at the few close-by errands I do in a car, the drive is 3-15 minutes and Google Maps says would be 6-40 minutes on a bike. Maybe slightly faster on an e-bike?
