Yeah I rode via the main road once as a test ride, no thanks. A bus, followed by a truck, followed by a farm tractor on a part without bike lane.
Like a third of my bike lane of 8,8 miles is dirt/gravel road but it's fine. It being more difficult doesn't matter when it's without cars.
Also, not to be an asshole but I get to keep my tax money ๐ big daddy government so kind to me. My end of year bonus' personal income tax, employee and employer social contribution are spent on my e-bike. Took one of 10k USD because it costs me only.. nothing. If I went with car then i would receive 1000 USD less over the span of 3 years.
On top of that, the car would cost like 4k dollars a year on loss of resale value, taxes, maintenance and gas.
Ah, I almost feel guilty.
