    As a Dutchie in rural France atm, is way too hily here and the nearest supermarket is a fifteen minute drive away. I couldn’t do my shopping by bike like back home even if I tried.

      True that, I always forget this factor.

      E-bikes, while more expensive, completely flatten hills. They’re also fantastic for carrying cargo, and yes, groceries.

        True. But this comes on top of aforementioned lack of infrastructure. Paddling is not fun on a two-lane road where cars go 90 kp/h with no cycling lane.
