I have a good mountain bike, it isn't new or expensive, but it is very good.
My treads on the tires are worn enough to be pretty smooth. That is how much I've ridden in the past 8 years on it. And I have the tires really inflated for road travel.
I was comparing the time it took riding my bike versus a car when I said it would take twice as long. On short trips, cars get slowed down by stop signs or roads that don't connect. However, on 4-6 mile trips, cars can go faster in the straights than my bike, so I lose time to them. However, it is the distance where an electric car would make a lot of sense to me.
And going 20-40 miles back and forth from town would be really good to use an electric car, if you had to do it a lot. Especially if there are a bunch of stop lights or traffic jams.
