I would love to bike because if this. I sit in traffic jams all the time. But even with the car, I drive 40 Minutes. Wait, let me check how long I would need with the bike. Ah only 1h56m :) Yea not gonna do that. I'm faster at home even with traffic jams, and they are not every day.

I'm lucky that my city has good cycling infrastructure, so the ratio isn't so skewed. You should get your city to creat some, then see how that works.

No matter the infrastructure, it takes a while to go 15 miles each way. Granted, its more consistent (with an ebike at least). At the extreme end, the drive to work has taken over 2 hours once. So biking would have been much faster. Most days is like 15-20 minutes for the drive vs 55-65 minutes for the bike ride

Living in a village. Can't afford to move out yet.

That's unfortunate. Many smaller communities were designed around cars leaving no other feasible choice but to drive.

As soon as I can move to some better place, I will switch to the bike instantly because I hate car driving.

Yeah let me just "get the city to creat some", it's that easy
