Why do I love my #cargobike? reason#42 - because I went to get dog food before the store closed, and stopped for milk afterwards (and dont even need a bag for everything 2 arms carried out.)

I think it's bad that kids simply *riding* e-motos are viewed as problematic. What about the high schoolers I see driving trucks and overpowered cars? Or parents in giant SUVs? Both of which are more dangerous. No, no, the kids on e-motos are the real scourge.
Why are dirt bikes being ridden to middle school? How is that allowed?

Fine, if people on bikes are expected to follow the same rules as cars, then I guess we're gonna have to start acting like motorists.

I know wanting political neutrality from a mayor is unrealistic, but seeing my mayor do an ad campaign for a Republican running for a representative seat just left me wanting to do all I can to oppose and be abrasive to her. That party is a cult and she is now them to me.

We were in Minneapolis for a few days on vacation, but couldn't help filming some of their amazing curb-level bikeways - better than almost anything we've seen elsewhere! How is your city doing on bike infrastructure?

Amazing how a little rain makes the speeding and narrow sidewalk issues visible and...tangible as in I am now soaking wet after walking my kid to school in what is otherwise just light rain. This is what makes routes to school feel unsafe and walking feel untenable.
Narrow sidewalk and tree lawn as a car speeds by in a 25 mph zone, spraying a large amount of water on the sidewalk occupant, me.Just at the 20 mph to 25 mph school zone transition, cars speed by spraying water onto the sidewalk across a narrow tree lawn on a main street and primary route to school.

Cars completely dominate and define our urban spaces. Bikes just weave into the fabric of the environment, asking for very little space while offering a massive return in mobility.

I spent years telling people that kids were not necessary to justify owning an e-cargo bike. I still stand by it. Having said that, if you're on the fence about the purchase and have halfway enabling infrastructure, buy it! The memories you'll make with your children are priceless.

You know why this bike parking is full of shopping carts? Because the design directed people to make this decision. The cart returns are farther away than the bike parking, thus people's natural laziness and lack of discipline take over.

From what I read, this applies only to model 2022 and older, but if you take my advice, you could bypass UA hardware altogether and buy the Kinekt suspension seatpost. I'll never be without this on a bike. It's now essential comfort. cirruscycles.com/collections/...

On the same day diesel hit £2 a litre for the first time, we took 50+ cargo bikes onto the streets of London for the seventh Cargo Bike Cruise. While diesel vans are getting more expensive to run, cargo bikes are becoming a practical and cheaper option for more and more businesses.
