I take my kid to daycare every day on my ebike. It's only 5km one way, but I used to do 14km pedal power when I lived in Montréal.

I don't do it to be a smug prick, I do it because it's faster than driving.

Frankly, the infrastructure choices in my city (Kingston) make driving on average slower than 30kph. If bicycles weren't also stuck in traffic lights (same thing that slows all the cars) cycling would be faster than driving is now, and driving would be faster than it is now. Basically our problem is traffic lights.
