    Yeah, and 20in wheels. Even 250w makes a big difference to allow less exhaustion (/longer distance).

    I made sure to get a bike with gears so I could actually put the effort+speed in, and got a decent price on it (decently below the $1K ground floor) but unfortunately it is now discontinued so finding something similar may be difficult (also, telescoping handlebar stem).

    Unfortunately I still don’t ride as much as I should. Mostly there’s not much around, but also add things like weather conditions, mosquito/tick fears, limited by how long my cold water lasts, and various other things that I lack (tire patch kit, durable+breathable clothing, storage because common store options use incompatible mounting).
