    I am eyeing off a specific style of cargo ebike.

    I happened to see it in the thumbnail of the video.

    It is very expensive compared to regular bikes, which I have bought many of over the years.

    So I made a comment lamenting about the expensive price tag for that specific style of bike I happen to be interested in.

    It wasn’t a meta commentary on cargo bikes in general. It wasn’t a complaint about total cost of ownership. It wasn’t anything other than "I want one of those, but it’s expensive.

    Chill out

        You do know tho that “it costs like a car” is a typical anti-cargo bike argument, right?

        No, I was unaware of that particular dog whistle, which explains why I got the reaction I did.

        Thank you for the heads up.
