It's not the 1-3 mile rides I am worried about though. It is the 4-10 mile, each way trips where there are roads that are unsafe for bicycles that I would have to use. Then there is also a gym I could use, but it is about 7 miles away, and after working out, a 7 mile ride isn't that fun after you have ridden 13 that day already. And there is a whole time element to it as well when you have to go that far.
But it's not like I would choose the electric car over the bike when the weather is good and it's a safe trip to take.
I am still on the fence and doing some more research, but I know that it is hard to justify economically with the state taxes, insurance and regular maintenance figured in.
