I’m sure you know the MANY cons already.

But in this Texas suburb, it gets me from the store, to family, and potentially to my job if I get one that’s hybrid or in-office entirely. Travel radius is usually about 20 miles, tops.

We’re north of 100 degrees during the day so walking the concrete jungle is oppressive, biking will get me to a CVS, Home Depot, some things I don’t need to visit often and stroads don’t help.

Public transit is non-existent, taxi service would add up stupid fast, both would add stupid amounts of time, yee haw.

I like it for what i can throw in there. Would love to have a more walkable place so less idiot drivers being forced to drive but we gotta pick our battles.
