What's the best bike for commuting? This is the second video in which I test different types of bikes on my commute. This time, instead of a mountain, road or city bike, like I did last time, I tested these bikes:
A slow, comfortable city bike.
A light and fast road bike.
A pedelec , a.k.a an electric pedal-assist bike.
Which one is best? I measure my commutes on all of the bikes and compare the numbers. In addition to speed, I also examine a number of other factors around bike commuting, such as comfort, costs and the sweat factor.
Here are some of the numbers:
City bike: Riding time: 66:61, average speed of 20.2 km/hr
Road bike: Riding time: 58:65, average speed of 22 km.hr
Electric bike: Riding time: 56:31, average speed of 24.6 km/hr
I hope this video helps you become a better bike commuters.
Also: You'll probably notice that my math is weird on some of the calculations. I have as accumulated time of 58:65, for example, which should be expressed as 56:05. The larger point I'm trying to make still stands, but, yeah, I messed up.
