A few years ago I did an economic analysis on driving (35 mpg Corolla) versus cycling since I had a 65 mile commute. I based calculations on a $10 wage rate for my time and the break even speed for the bike was 17 mph. This is well within the range of an aero bike or e-bike for all those trips inside the common 25 mile radius. Even better the local public transportation companies are now adding bike racks.
