How do I start/proceed - sh.itjust.works

I want to begin riding bikes more for exercise and ultimately to commute to work. Unfortunately I’m overweight and very out of shape. Work is about 20 miles away, along busy highways with big shoulders but moderate traffic. About 55 mph is the speed limit. I’m trepidatious about obviously getting hit, but also I don’t think I’d be able to go the whole way right off the bat. I’ll train some first. I’m thinking some kind of ebike like a Specialized Tero 3.0 [https://upway.co/products/specialized-turbo-tero-30-uev82] but don’t know. The shoulders can be pretty tricky/ gravelly so I was shying away from road bikes with thinner tires. I was leaning ebike because I think they’re cool/fun, help me better keep up speed, and will ultimately help keep me motivated. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why is this so hard? I’ve tried to do everything right, and I have more than most around me and I’m still struggling. I don’t know if I’ll be able to find a place to live.

Follow up on the tire - sh.itjust.works

Follow up as I got the tire off the rim after work. Definitely seems like it’s starting to split. But only on one side. Is this indicative of being pinched by the rim? Ridden on asphalt trail 95% of the time.

Strange tire wear at rim - sh.itjust.works

Was going to go for a simple ride tonight. Noticed this strange wear on my tire right next to the rim. Is this bad/a big deal?
