    I live a bit Southeast of Atlanta. My job is a 44 mile drive away in Woodstock. My job that I barely managed to get after a year of no serious bites.

    I try to WFH as much as I can but they want us in office at least 2 weeks of the month, plus monthly all hands meetings.

    I do try to use my ebike to purchase groceries, but recently the back is flat and perhaps I’m just not well inclined for it but I’ve had issues trying to get the wheel off to fix it, and I really can’t afford taking it somewhere for someone to do it for me.

    I try not to use house heating in winter, and my car is electric(and old, only 8%-20% when i arrive at work). While I absolutely crave having reasonable public transportation (I enjoyed NYCs when I visited) and would take it in a heartbeat, since i could just read in my hour drive to work and hour and a half back from work, shaming me for not biking 44 miles yo work isn’t going to help that be a reality.

      The back wheel on my ebike is also a pain to get off. I found the trick was to use an adjustable wrench to wiggle the axle loose. And again to wiggle it back into place when reinstalling.
