I got an ebike because I wasn’t confident I could commute to work on a regular bike and having the assist option helped me stress less. Biking takes my commute from ~1:40 per day to 4 on a slow day, but it’s a pretty enjoyable 4 hours and I can play the game of seeing how little battery I can use
Yeah it’s a lot, I’m trying to do it once per week, driving the rest, but it takes a big chunk of my day. My job is unfortunately 25 miles or so by car because it’s pretty niche and I wanted to get a house near my dad when he was sick. So 1.5-2 hours of commuting by car or 3-4 by bike is where I’m at.
Then again, when I look back, I’m always the least healthy and least happy when I’m driving the most.
Can you commute by bike+bus? Most modern buses have bike racks on them, and your bike can still conveniently get you from your house to the bus stop and from the other bus stop to your work … in the very likely event that neither your house nor your work have a bus stop very close by.

Can’t imagine spending so much time commuting, is that every day or is it a hybrid role?
I like a cycling commute but that is a lot
