I did not consider an Ebike option! I just checked: no license of any kind at all is required to ride an e-bike. I actually will look into this as transport for those longer distances.WiseOne wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 8:32 am Ebike is a great idea! Or a minibike (motor-driven) that doesn't require a license like a full-on motorcycle.
Those can turn what might seem to be a painful, long bike commute into something very doable. And like motorcycles you can legally weave around cars so in heavy traffic you probably might even get to work faster.
Assuming of course they're not banned in Vancouver the way they are in NYC. I think NYC banned them because they didn't want competition for the subways or the city's bikeshare system.
One thing I am hoping to get out of this situation: maybe, just maybe, I can design my life so that when I get my license back, I won't even WANT my car back. And I can save a bundle on insurance, gas, maintenance, etc.
