> At that sort of mileage, it takes much longer to bike, and doing it consistently 5x a week with a physical job is iffy.

Would an electric bike have helped? As car batteries get cheaper and better e-bikes are following suit, and many models get 40+ mile ranges and provide assist to 20-25 MPH even with hills.

Most laws don’t allow over 19-20mph on bicycles before its classified as a moped. That doesn’t mean you can’t provide the extra speed (I see up to 28mph on mine when I go hard), it’s just that the speed is limited but range increases (I’ve traveled over 30mi on a single charge so far)
