The person on the left is carrying bags, the one in orange is a delivery driver and a couple of people are wearing backpacks. Aside from car brained, Damaris is also blind.

    When I used to be on twitter and in response to idiotic comments like that, I would post the video of the guy cycling with a fridge on his back, one of someone moving a piano, several tradesmen that quit their vans to use cargo bikes, the pedal cab company in London (proper cargo bikes not the shitty tourist things) and the mother of 6 from Portland that had a cargo bike to take them all to school.

    It used to shut them up

        No, I was definitely suggesting you could but could you? Especially people like the person who made the half literate other reply

          I was intending more like reverse psychology. “I’ll show you!” That kind of thing.

          I get how I might not have said that well enough though.

          With a 3 wheeler it’s not really hard unless there is a hill or you have to dodge cars.

        You’re a fucking idiot if you think roads were only built for the transportation of goods & services as they were superceded by canals then by railways.

        It was a massive step backwards in inefficiency in an orchestrated move by vehicle manufacturers that freight was shifted back to roads.

        And the guys (yes, more than one) carrying fridges on their shoulders while cycling, have more fucking balls than you’ll ever dream of having.
