I'm not riding a bike out here. That would be stupid.
I live out in the country where electric vehicles like the early leaf aren't really supposed to work. There are dust storms, 40 mph cross winds are a regular occurrence. Thats just what I need, breathing all kinds of dust deeply into my lungs. Nope.
NM is top 3 for hit and run crashes, probably because of all the uninsured illegals. The roads are 2 lane, speed limits are high, no bike lane, drivers aren't paying attention and don't care.
Plus on a typical day I get 30 to 50lb of wood to burn from work. On a great day I fill the hatch, back floor bord and back seat, 300 to 400lb. Not doing none of that with a bike.
