The Most Useful Electric Bike Is a Pint-Size Prankster
  • @litchralee @FartsWithAnAccent sir you’ve described my garage almost perfectly 😀🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

  • 10000 passengers per hour
  • @themeatbridge one of our bikes seats driver + 2 kids (long tail cargo). Doggo has a trailer, though if we’re riding as a family that’s usually towed by other bike. The kids like prefer the bike to the car, so I don’t have to make them do anything.

  • 10000 passengers per hour
  • @themeatbridge @Swedneck most families will find it hard to do without a car, but then most families (at least where I live) have more than 1 car. Rather than being a luxury the 1 car + N e-bikes setup is cheaper and often more convenient for local trips, which tends to be quite a significant proportion. We access school, library, pool, shops, doctors, cinemas, our workplaces etc via e-bike. With kids. Sometimes in the rain. Sometimes with a dog.

  • The school drop off/pickup thing is the most carbrained thing I've ever seen
  • @const_void the school traffic situation was the tipping point for getting a #cargobike for us. Much calmer and faster way to do it, with opportunity for spotting and chatting about stuff going on in the neighbourhood. There’s the occasional poor driver behaviour that affects us but it’s quite rare compared what you get in the car.
