Response text from high t alpha shemale @gluetaster: that's not a cargo bike man that's a loopholemobile
It's fine as long as it's limited to about 40kmph zones. Its basically same as goods rickshaw in India or motor tricycle in Philippines.
I want one to use as a camper!
Guys... I know it looks ridiculous. But it's really not that bad, imho. If those smallest cargo vehicles that are partly propelled by feet and (more, obviously) by a battery, that are tiny and slow enough to be used on wider bicycle lanes, actually replaced larger delivery vans and trucks... wouldn't that be, you know, good?
Everyone hunky dory until they start parking these things in the bike lane.
I have never used Amazon, and I intend never to use them ever
Don't fucking park them in the bike lane
These fucking things better not be on the bike lanes.
I know where these are in DC, I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow
