Thats what your jacket is for.
You can get bike trailers.
Infrastructure issue rather than the bike itself.
What are you hauling anyway?
Robotics to Jita
Oh Jesus. I haven't touched that beast in years. Don't think I've seen a reference to it in about as long
I was away for 10 years but got sucked back in
They say that you never truly quit the game. I played for a week or two when COVID started, before that it'd been maybe a year or two. So ~5-6 years with little to no contact.
I think that means I'm due.
Even online still going strong
Indeed it is :)
Let me present to you:
I'm gonna look like a moron here, but I genuinely have no idea what I'm looking at or how it works haha. Is the bar across the top used as a handlebar..? It doesn't look like the front wheels turn.. ~~Where the hell do you feet go?~~ I think I can see pedals, they're just lined up with the frame so I didn't catch them at first.
These are all over the place in Denmark. Look up Christiania Bikes
Don't even need that. My parents used to have a kid seat on the front and the back of the bike so they could take us both. When you're getting too big to fit on the seat, you learn how to ride a bike yourself.
What in the world, how do you see anything behind that... thing?
You sit the way your head is above, so you see the road.
Seen such things in Amsterdam.
Seems annoying tbh.
And honestly looks a little awkward, including IRL.
But some still drive those and feel fine
If it works it works, I suppose.
Shorts, t-shirts and football boots? Have you heard of rucksacks?
Or a little basket in the bike
I am an ESL teacher who is at war with the word rucksack. It is a gnomic word that blocks understanding. Backpack, a pack for the back. Is that a back pack? Why yes it is Ming! It is a pack on someone's back! Is that a rucksack teacher? Fucked if I know, I have never seen a ruck nor would I know what kind of sack I would need for it.
Yes you are right, this prson should get a rucksack.
A rucksack is a Sack on someone's Rücken.
That's what I get for refusing to google the etymology of things.
Kids can ride bikes in soccer gear...
There's these things called "bikes for kids". There's over a million Dutch people who do soccer (out of 17 million people), and almost all of them go by bike.
Football soccer is the main sport where I live, everyone walks with their stuff just fine with one of these, if that even.
Do you guys carry the grass around or something?
I have winter cycling gear, btw. It doesnt make it not suck.
I'm not hauling a car, motorcycle, toolboxes, tires, materials, etc. with a bike trailer.
My bad for having a job, apparently.
