    If you use it every day and can afford it, maybe look at brand electric bikes! They’re a bit like bikes, but sturdier and on bad/rainy days and whatnot it really motivates to have the motors help. They’re almost like motor scooters, if you ever had one.

      Is ebike theft an issue? I’m paranoid about my push bike that I have no idea how I’d leave an ebike out.

        Yes it is but you can get cheap insurance, just like you would get for a motor scooter or a car.

      They’re definitely something I’m looking at. 🙂

      I’ve gotten to use a class 3 direct drive before, and it was nice. Ideally, a gravel e-bike is what I’d target.

      I’d kind of like to get something I can use all around since I would only have one, and my area has some nice bike trails.
