I want a bike for fun and exercise but I have no practical use for one, I live too far from anywhere I need to go for it to make sense and my area's climate is awful for it half the year.

>I live too far from anywhere I need to go
How far exactly? Because even a distance of 20 miles shouldn't be much of an issue on a bike

>>2068427
but biking is shit in urban jp
i want to own one but it's an hour ride to get anywhere pleasant like the rivers
and trains being broken is a valid excuse for being late so no need for alternate commute on the terrible for biking streets

Those bikes suck at hills even the Japanese just get off and walk them

>Those bikes suck at hills
Skill issue, bikes are still faster uphill than walking, it just takes a bit more effort to get those wheels moving

My daily commute is 25 miles, and the only way to get there is on a highway that I feel unsafe taking even my slow motorcycle (a 300cc that can barely do 70mph) on. I'm about 5mi from the center of the city I technically live in but 99% of the time if I'm going into town I need a vehicle with more carrying capacity than a bicycle. It's also worth pointing out that none of this is flat, I live in the mountains.

that's right anon, exceptions only prove the rule when it comes to americans and americans are the only people on earth that have to commute beyond 40km

>>2068886
damn i expected canada to be way worse just from t-dot alone, let alone rural retards commuting into one of the like five cities that exist

theres no source, its not a real chart

>>2068886
if this is true why is the counter to literally everything being bad in the usa "It's too big, it would never work"?

They come from individual transport surveys. You can fact-check them yourself in fact

This is all pretty common knowledge, so I don't really understand why you're arguing over this. The problem with Japan in particular is that they heavily rely on rail transport, which is bottlenecked by scheduling

>>2068891
ALSO Japanese work culture demands people commute longer distances from home. Most Americans either work within their own towns or the next city over at best

>>2068891
it says time not distance

Single cylinder dualsport, and like I said I live in the mountains, so it's even slower than it would be at sea level.
