I used to commute 12ish miles a couple of days a week, on my mongrel MTB/Hybrid commuter - its mostly downhill there and mostly uphill back - some days were less fun than others but it worked for me (and beat the local rip off, slow buses)
And then I was offered a Merida 600 e-bike by my local council - free for a month so long as I used it to commute and told them all about it afterwards. Two weeks in and now I so NEED my own e-bike - hence joining this forum. Its like having a cycling super power! I can go everywhere at 15.5 mph, without sweat or grief
My current plan is to bodge the mongrel bike with a kit, given that the Merida would cost more than a decent small car . . . we shall see
