Look, I love bikes- I ride them, fix them, dream about them, but honestly, as a former electrician I can also acknowledge that it would be severely limiting to do that job on a bike.
If you’re working on domestic then you need a few ladders, a couple of hundred kilos of tools, at least 3 rolls of different cables, and a small shop of various outlets etc.
not to mention that ducking out to the wholesalers to pick up something to finish a job would take 1hr instead of 10 min.
Industrial electrician would just be funny - imagine cycling across town with a 500kg variable speed drive or switchboard on your pushy…
I couldn’t do the job efficiently with a sedan, let alone something with a fraction of the capacity. Also - where does the apprentice sit?
I think it depends on the work that you are doing. I’m currently working as a journeyman and the most I need to bring is my hand tools. If you need to carry more the company will likely give a vehicle, but the vast majority of people drive their personal vehicles only to transport themselves and their hand tools.

They’re the ones pedaling
