Ummmm....yeeaaaahhhh....

Years ago I selected my house such that it be within decent bicycle commuting distance from work. Someday I should calculate an estimate of how much fuel I saved. I biked year around, through nasty winters and all, and I have the frostnips to prove it. Biking is great though. Plus it allowed me to eat like a horse (which I love to do) and not get fat.

I yoosta go through snow with 10-speed touring bikes but have found the fat tire mountain bikes to be more snow friendly... although care must still be exercised on ice.

My interest in EVs comes and goes. My hangup is winter operation, where I take it battery capacity goes down the tubes. An EV to me might be like another motorcycle- gotta park it for several months every year. Then it sorta gets "toy" status.
