My commute is 55 minutes by car, unfortunately it would just take too long on a bike

You'd probably be in fantastic shape though!

I already do physical labour all day, I think I'd be emotianally wrecked if I had to labour for hours to get to work too hah

Yeah, jokes aside if you wanted to do micromobility you'd probably be better off with some sort of motorcycle or if public transit is available, maybe a folding bike/skateboard/scooter for the last mile? A lot of people don't have the option of public transit either because they straight up don't have it or the schedule is totally useless when it comes to getting to work on time.

I'm in the unfortunate position where both the schedule, nature of my work and amount of gear I need to transport is such tha public transit, a bicycle or even a motorbike is a no-go.

Just make your domestiques carry all that stuff!

Someone cycling with a reciprocating saw from worksite to worksite, now that's dedication

It can be surprising how much shit you can haul on a bike sometimes, especially cargo bikes.
