I am also bound to using a car due to where I live. Fortunately I work from home, and most of what I need is close by so I don’t need to use it too much.
Same. I ride my bike places when it’s feasible, but I live a few miles from anything. A bike ride into town implies at least 20-30 minutes of sweating, which means I have to drive my car more often than I’d like. I have a plugin hybrid that gets about 30 miles without burning any gas, and that gets me most anywhere I commonly need to go, so there’s that at least.
The bike I own is a mountain bike. I could buy another but I don’t really need to. I have to cross an interstate highway to get anywhere useful, which is the real problem.

I’d say ebike but for the roads I’m imagining, safety was probably also on your list.
