You can do what I do and enjoy biking around town/your neighborhood as a leisure activity. Bike to whatever stores or appointments make sense. Biking to a hair cut for example is nice because the wind as you bike helps shake the bits of escaped hair out of your clothing!
Current I super commute while I get the money scraped together to move, and even then my job requires me to drive a personal vehicle to customer sites as needed so biking/public transit likely won’t be an option until I land a better role with a company that isn’t as cheap as this one

In Europe this would likely be 30 mins commute on a train if you work in any sizable city. And you can take your bike on the train and finish the rest of the commute on the bike.

I did this but rented a bike in the city to drive to my work. The bike was only €15/month and paid by my employer.

Sadly North American public transit has been an afterthought for decades. Our urban planning has been stupid beyond belief too. It’s only quite recently that this has begun to change.
