Get ready to ride in the bicycle gutter and get yelled at by drivers for, like, existing.

on one hand, bicycles are indeed very epic. on the other - if you plan on going somewhere that’s >30min away by bike (and not up a hill) and don’t want to arrive sweaty, then maybe the bus is better

Depends. Where I live, it takes me:
100 minutes to walk to work,
60 minutes by bus (direct connection),
40 minutes by train (actually 10 minutes by train and walking 30 minutes to the station and to work),
30 minutes by car in rush hour traffic, and
25 minutes by bicycle

>30min away by bus could sometime mean adding 30/40 min to wait time. Bus in a lot of places is awful as they have a route to follow and still stuck in traffic. Bad bus frequency is very common in places with shitty public transport.
On the other hand, depend on where you live, pedal assist ebike is awesome and you are less likely arrive sweaty.
