You feel the acceleration much more on a bike than a car despite moving slower and the breeze going by you feels pretty nice too. Not to mention a lot less likely to kill someone.
minus-square@PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglish10•8 months agoI remember the first time I went about 30 mph on my conventional bike down a hill. I had so much fun, I went up the short hill again! I’m graduating soon and plan to reward myself with something pricey. An e-bike is a strong contender because I hate driving my car as much as I do.
