      As soon as bicycles are mentioned, everyone suddenly has to transport their washing machine 200 miles in sub zero temperatures.

        I think it’s more that when someone is suggesting something as a perfect thing, people naturally try to challenge that by finding faults in it.

          It’s blindingly obvious cycling is not a panacea for all transport and no one is suggesting it is. Yet here they are, all pointing out what everyone knows in response to a statement that was never made.

            I think you’re getting too upset about that. That’s just how people argue online.

        Glad that my city has a cargo bike renting program for 10€/day or 25€/week up to 4 weeks (selection from 17: 15 electric, 2 acoustic)

          I would take the acoustic, then I wouldn’t have to supply my own cards to put in the spokes every time!

          Seriously though cargo bike rental sounds like a pipe dream, too bad they roads where I am wouldn’t be able to handle such a thing by design!
