Go 25mph then. At some point it just seems like looking for excuses. Tbh I hear the same sorts of excuses here from people trying to justify why they “have to” drive 800m to the corner shop.
It would literally be illegal for me due to the only road being an interstate bridge during part of my commute, not to mention riding at night on winding roads with no shoulder (blind corners abound) with speed limits of 50+ mph due to my work hours. And of course some roads that have a bike lane (rare in my neck of the woods but improving), it’s illegal in my state to ride any vehicle with a motor (yes even electric motors) in the bike lane. So I’d have to ride in traffic on a bike on aforementioned roads.
I’m not saying other people shouldn’t try to ride bikes or ebikes to work, I’m just saying for me that it’s not possible.
