Yeah, I have an e-bike I rarely use. At one point I had a job close by and I could bike along some walking trails and through a neighborhood on the street to get there, but when I left and got a new job the place is on the other side of the city. I could use it to make grocery trips, but I drive by the store on the way to and from work. Makes more sense to combine trips. Or I’m shopping on the weekends with my wife, who is disabled.
Public transit here… exists, but it takes an inordinately long amount of time to get from point A to B. The rail service is a single line and has the same problem, also doesn’t run all day and there’s only maybe two trains.
