I'm lucky that my city has good cycling infrastructure, so the ratio isn't so skewed. You should get your city to creat some, then see how that works.

Yeah let me just "get the city to creat some", it's that easy

No matter the infrastructure, it takes a while to go 15 miles each way. Granted, its more consistent (with an ebike at least). At the extreme end, the drive to work has taken over 2 hours once. So biking would have been much faster. Most days is like 15-20 minutes for the drive vs 55-65 minutes for the bike ride

Living in a village. Can't afford to move out yet.

That's unfortunate. Many smaller communities were designed around cars leaving no other feasible choice but to drive.

As soon as I can move to some better place, I will switch to the bike instantly because I hate car driving.
