You ever ride a road bike? It's fun as fuck and it's fast as fuck. Or easy as fuck if you're going slower. And the only reason this is not exactly feasible for everyday transport is because everywhere spents a gajillion moneys on keeping highways smooth for people in cars instead of fucking bikes. You have 4 fat ass wheels, sophisticated suspension and everything you don't need this shit. I wanna roadbike everywhere ffs.
Now you might say oh the geometry is not relaxing but you know what? Upright-style dutch bike, except 22mm tyres. Nigh 0 rolling resistance. Only impossible due to shit infrastructure planning
I prefer upright commuters to roadbikes, step through frames especially make shopping easier with large panniers.
Also some areas really do require ebikes.
