Since yesterday, I have no car

That will not change much in the world but having enough to participate in the caps in the morning on the rider Nantais, I decided to ride the electric bike.
By car I was doing 50kms a day by bike I will make 28. Normally my journey time will be more stable around 2 times 40-45mn estimated (because currently I do it in classic bike in 1h + or month 10mn according to the pace).
And also less stress, plugs it annoys and sometimes when there is none I get 20 25 too early to work.
In addition to polluting less I should save about 1200 € per year, probably a minimum. I only count the fuel and the insurance less, not the repairs and the technical control.

It does not matter much, but I wanted to share that with people who understand. At work I find myself rather offbeat .....

Pretty and very good for healthwithout electricity even more ??

By car I was doing 50kms a day by bike I will make 28. Normally my journey time will be more stable around 2 times 40-45mn estimated (because currently I do it in classic bike in 1h + or month 10mn according to the pace).

28km in 1h and more in classic bike, seems slow, except coasts, serious, (Nantes is not very mountainous ???) because without assistance, trained sportsman, we go faster, without obstacles, nor too much traffic jams , where the electric bike is as secure as the classic, unless you take risks between cars ????

An almost 2 ratio of distance between car and bike !!

For my work, I had an 6 distance report between car (and traffic jam) and on foot in the forest (with natural beds of hyacinths of fragrant blue woods at the moment), or mountain bike (cycling the bike on a staircase!), well before retirement !!
I continue to coast for the form, 3 times, running !!

What always puzzled me were coworkers, pretty much like me, never coming on foot, always driving, never exercising, to the point where they died !!
I found that on foot, without running, I went faster, seeing them leave and arrive after me, car racing!

A little offbeat, even on econology, www.dlsc.ca to copy, I'm still alive, able to run in the ribs !!

Very nice decision, bravo.

Not within everyone's reach, unfortunately: you have to be at a reasonable distance from a shopping center, public transport, do not have children to pick up at school and take to the dance, music lessons, etc.

And vacations ?

You can also go by bike faster than the car in traffic jams and keep a car that rarely rolls, except for traffic jams!

Well done Phil, nice decision!

For my part, I also ride a bike when I do not have my son to take. But I have much less merit than you because my trip is much shorter (report 10!).

On the contrary, it has a great interest: you save on stress, money, CO2!
Someone who, at the turn of a google search, reads your savings calculation may be aware and change, in turn, his mode of travel.

On the other hand, dedé, I find you very insolent : Evil:

1) It's not that slow: it's even faster than most people do (I do not mean people who only know the bike in gyms, with no aerodynamic problems).
2) It's not because you're so sporty that everyone is.
3) Everyone can not afford to get sweaty at work.

Welcome to the club, and congratulations phil53!

You will be able to develop your conditions and make you mini-challenge (like trying to nibble a few minutes every week on the course, it's very fun ... just beware of his fucking urban motorists! : Evil:

28km / h is on the contrary an excellent speed, for my part I know that Lyon saw the road traffic keep 28 average demand really a lot of effort (40 peak), given the lights, cars, pedestrians hens etc. ... already driving at 20 is good, because you have to think about his safety.
Another argument: €€€€€€!

We must demand as much bike-road without traffic lights as highways, passing other than long polluted highways!

Nice and very good for health

It depends, if you have to breathe the exhaust of other cars bottled, it must not be so good that at first sight ... : Evil:

I hope you go where there is the least!
