I'm fine with these as long as they don't use the bike lanes. Nothing with more then two wheels should use the bike lane because:
Exactly. The problem with these is them monopolising bike lanes. Apart from that they’re better than trucks in every way, quieter, less polluting, less dangerous, don’t emit cancer fumes.
I would give actual quads and trikes a pass still but not these. Not everyone is physically capable of riding a standard bike and I will almost certainly lose the ability in time.
You know the entire point here was likely to deny the drivers climate control and whatever X continuous hours of operation before mandatory 12 hours away type laws apply to people who operate vehicles professionally? They want people to burn/freeze and frantically move until they die on 72 hour shifts without overtime pay.
100% they don't want to pay for air-con. That can get expensive in the summer months. Better to remove the option all together.
That's idiotic. The point of these is to drop their carbon footprint. These are a good thing.
"Drop their carbon footprint"
Bezos laughs at you while he takes a helicopter to his jet to another helicopter to the smaller yacht that transports him to his actual yacht.
Still stuck on bezos when he isn't in charge anymore eh. Maybe figure out there are many others involved.
Jassy shit in your milkshake. You're not getting invited to the yacht party BTW, you temporarily embarrassed millionaire
Nope. I just know that there are many others getting rich as fuck and bezos isn't CEO anymore. People get distracted by one person and don't blame the entire C suite or the board.
Oh yeah, because Amazon has such a great trackrecord of wanting to reduce their carbon footprint.
They do. Out of most companies they do. Fuck them for so many things. But they are the only company using a huge fleet of electric vehicles and other ways they have reduced things.
I guess trikes and recumbent bikes are out for you then right.
They should be allowed
