I would have to ride 20 miles a day just to go to work and back... Its a bit much even on an ebike. From what i understand, i have a much shorter than normal commute in my area. Americans dont typically commute on bikes not because they dont want to but because the size of our country and history has made it impractical or nearly impossible. Im not even sure i could find a legally bikable path to my job tbh. Too many highways in the way that need to be crossed or used. There is in fact, nuance. Its not as simple as Americans are fat and lazy.
