Anybody have a similar experience as this?
One of our two cars blew a transmission and was too old to invest the money to repair, so we junked it. We decided to try to get by with one car. Did that for about 6 months and it was always a pain and sometimes a total train wreck; needed another vehicle. Being a teacher and not making tons of money, I was hesitant to go into debt to buy another car, so I decided to get an eBike and attempt to get by with commuting my short distance to work on the eBike, and letting my wife have the car. Would I be miserable with this arrangement? I was unsure, but it was worth a go.
After the first day of commuting on the eBike, my attitude changed drastically; I was surprised at how much I loved going to work on the bike. Only took a couple minutes extra to get to work because of being able to avoid traffic and stop lights. It turns out to be so much fun that it has spilled over onto most other outings I do. Now, I avoid going anywhere by car when I don't have to. I would rather go by bike.
Car = stress and pollution
eBike = relaxation and fun
