sicko-jammin sicko-biker sicko-pig

I'm cycle pilled and fully electric. I've got wind in my hair and bugs in my teeth. I've got places to be and sweat stains in my pits. I'm moisturized, unbothered, in my (protected!) bike lane, and flourishing. I can't fully ditch my car yet for intermittent long distance commute reasons, BUT, I think I will be able to when I switch projects next year. Capitalism is a fuck, death to AmeriKKKa, may crude oil go to $1000 a gallon!

Why are these bad questions? I just wanna know if I can physically.handle a commute to work on one. I realize that it depends somewhat in how much I pedal, but I'm not an athlete, and I know I won't commit if I'm completely exhausted and sweaty every day at work. Whatever these other higher purposes all the snobs in the replies are about, I'm trying to find something that works for my life. Is it car brained to try and work out the practical considerations of daily travel?

The top speed of an ebike usually has nothing to do with how much effort you yourself put in. This is especially true above 20mph.
