50 miles a week, 2600 a year (commute only). That's bicycle range. I'm not trying to aggravate the OP, but the real question is cost accounting and whether the cost benefit is justified. He could ride a bicycle but it gets awfully hot for that in summer. A scooter would work, even electric with that short commute. I just bought one from the scrap yard for $25 as a project. Even an electric bicycle that requires no license or insurance.
Of course I don't know the specifics of his commute or if low speed options as far as routes are available.
Bottom line is there are always options and his location has low annual rainfall.
ECO, if my answers are inapproprite, then feel free to ignore them. it's basically just thinking out loud.
