Damn! I hope you're doing better.
I ride 10 miles daily on my bicycle and drivers scare the hell out of me. I always assume they can't see me and are going to do the wrong thing because they usually do!
I had to sell my old coupe to buy a pickup - but it was necessary for the homestead to haul dirt and other supplies for the farm. Although I rarely drive it (I'd rather be bicycling and burning calories while saving gas!). I'm waiting for the EV industry to evolve and then my plan is to buy a nicer older small EV with very limited range so I can scoot around town when needed - something like the BMW i3.... but less ugly hahaha
Wow! That's insane. Yeah I had a back injury last month and it's taken me weeks to feel better - I'm finally back on a bike but not back in the gym yet - still taking it easy lol.
For sure I love the thought of E-bikes! I've been watching the technology evolve quite a bit over the past few years. My goal is to add one to the collection eventually so I can extend my "range" to get into town without being drenched in sweat in the summer time haha
