We did somewhere north of 40+ miles/64km on them today. Fucking awesome. It makes a city feel so much smaller and I don’t have to dick with expensive gas or annoying parking. Oddly enough, it’s not even that much slower than driving if traffic is bad either. And matches or beats city buses most of the time, too.
The only real downsides are 1) not enough bike lanes 2) more shops and restaurants and parks need bike lockers or secure areas.
