Ok, I'm just kind of curious. What type of range is everyone looking at riding a bike? I live in east county San Diego and was bike commuting 20 miles each way without electric.
Faster than public transportation, and kept me in good shape. If your commute is under 10 miles, go for it with a standard, but decent road bike. You'll be amazed at how fast you can do it. I went down this bicycle road long ago, starting with MTB's, then mtb's with slicks, then road bikes, and now I have a full blown performance recumbent.
20 miles takes about an hour in hilly terrain, after you've been doing it for a month. You just have to get out and ride.
