    Arrive to work soaked in sweat because it’s been 100+ degrees every day for the past 8 weeks.

      You lose the benefits of it being cheap, but an ebike is a decent solution

        I rode one for a while in college.

        Didn’t really help with the sweat problem between April and October in Texas. Or was less work than pedaling, but nothing aside from air conditioning helps with the sweat issue in Texas summer heat.

        Being cheap is the entire benefit. Everything else is just a plus. If you lose the cost it’s not worth it at that point.

          But somehow 20k plus for a vehicle with the added maintenance, gas, inspection, and registration is. Gotcha.

            Never said owning a car was cheap. I said if I have to shell out 5 grand for a bike that I still have to drive without ac/heat in the summer and winter it defeats the purpose.

      Well, that is largely caused by cars.

      Workplaces that require employees to be presentable then offer locker rooms, showers, and enough reasonable time to get ready to accommodate the fact that everyone who works a service job arrives soaked in sweat.
