Netherlands is pretty flat, easier to bike places naturally so they have good cycle routes. No way I'm biking to work in a hilly city.
São Paulo is pretty much as hilly as you can get, beset by mounts on all sides but one. People still bike, here.
Nah fuck that. You'd have to have a 6 meter cordon around me to avoid the sweat smell.
I'll give you that, biking long distances is reserved for when you can bathe afterwards. Thankfully, you rarely need to bike long distances.
Right, how about biking 3 minutes to the store? Make it 6 there and 2 back due to the height difference. Not every trip is 30+ minutes to work.
ebikes take the sweat out of hilly commutes.
True, they're also expensive as shit and prone to punctures. Realistically I live too far from work to bike.
They're coming down in price, many places offer subsidies to get one, and there are puncture-resistant tires that do wonders. That said, I also live too far from work to bike, because I can't afford to live where I work.
