Hah, sorry to self plug[0] but I feel it’s relevant. I just wrote about this the other day, except I was using Uber instead. It turns out that for my personal situation it’s not worth it to go with a ridesharing service. Right now I’m spending $4,560 a year on Uber. Does anyone have bicycle recommendations for under $400?

Id probably get secondhand

How far are you cycling? It might be worth upping the price too and going electric

Yeah used is probably my best bet. It’s only 7 miles a day roundtrip.

7 is a perfect distance - what sort of roads? Id tend towards a commuting road bike with panniers, and mudguards/fenders.

It’s a well paved road. Think suburban mainstreet. Thanks for your help!
