Well yesterday was... wow. First e-bike commute, and there was a big tailwind going home so made it home in just 52 minutes, when it normally takes around 65-80 minutes on my regular road bike. 18.5 MPH average! This will help me get home at nearly the same time as if I drive my car, which wifey likes. And I don't feel beat up so I was able to ride my road bike in this morning.

So this morning... back to the slowness lol. Had a little front/side wind, but surprisingly made the trek in 76 minutes when it's usually 80+ minutes in the morning. I think subconsciously I was trying to push my regular bike harder, to try to match my e-bike speed or something? Dunno, that will surely never happen as long as I live.
