I ride a motorcycle to work every day because it's the closest thing to a bicycle that will get me there in a reasonable time (47 miles one way on the highway, or about 40 miles if I take the most direct backroad route). The weather and day/night don't really bother me.

Could I ride a bicycle to work? Sure, but the ride to- and from work would take 8 hours (lots of hills!). That's not practical. Even an e-bike with a top speed of 20 would take me 4 hours, round trip.

I would definitely use an electric motorcycle, assuming it had sufficient range. That market is still emergent, along with e-bikes.

If I lived within 15 miles of work, I could see myself daily commuting via bicycle. That's probably about the limit of what I'd want to do day-in, day-out.
