    Not trying to suggest that this makes an ebike your answer, but an ebike typically moves at ~25kmph (and can be cheaply jigged to go up to 50kmph), so the trip should be 2 hours or less, depending on terrain and all that fun stuff.

    Even so, 4 hours of commuting is still too much, and as I said, I’m not trying to argue with you - or tell you how you should be moving yourself around - just looking to correct what appears to be a bad estimate of travel time in your comment.

      Dammit! You are right. The 8 hours is walking. My mistake. But yeah, 4 hours is a lot. Terrain is not an issue, as I live in Denmark lol. Even so, I’d have to be on the road most of the time (rural Denmark), and many drivers seem to try to hit cyclists. It’s enough when I cycle into the nearest town.
