    200+ pounds? I’m 170 and can bike 20 kms easy. My 70 year old mother can ride 50 kms without breaking a sweat.

    It’s something you get used to fast.

    Our current car sprawls are unsustainable

        Get a good bike and bike seat. Why are we willing to spend 50K on an awesome car but not 500 on a good bike?

          True, I could solve that problem. I have another problem, though: I live in a small apartment, I’m not allowed to store anything on the patio, and bikes are trivial to steal, so…where would I put it? And if I ride it someplace and go inside, where will I leave the bike?
