Text: Amazon's electric cargo bikes have arrived in DC.
Image: A four-wheeled vehicle that appears to be a cross between a bicycle, a go-cart, and a mini-truck
Response text from high t alpha shemale @gluetaster: that's not a cargo bike man that's a loopholemobile
Edit: I found a slightly higher-quality version of the image:
It's not a bike. Bikes have two wheels. Also, plenty of jobs require physical labor.
We're obviously using "bike" to mean a vehicle allowed in a bike lane. Is a trike not allowed in a bike lane? Better ban these!
When people here are saying that the OP vehicle is "not a bike" we are saying it exceeds the limits of what should be allowed to occupy bike infrastructure.
Also, it's not about physical labor. It's about the CHANGE to the required physical labor and who is paying for it. The job just got more physically intense and I promise you the pay isn't going up enough to compensate for that.
I don't understand replies like this. I mean do you get on the internet and look for comments you can purposely misunderstand?
