Trending in the UK at the moment lots of images and posts like this in response to Rachel reeves on LBC.

What's your thoughts ? I am myself a tradesperson who drives a van daily. I would love an ecargo bike for the kids and occasional jobs where it's feasible, but can't currently afford it. These AI pictures though are supposed to be taking the piss out of the idea but I think they're actually demonstrating a point that if the bikes are strong enough and the motor is powerful enough they could move a lot more. The other issue in the UK is being limited to 15 mph, if they could be assisted to 25mph going the distance is really feasible.

EDIT-

I should add, if this is the desire of the government then maybe we will see improved infrastructure to enable people to actually to do this. unless your in a city in the UK you are often in a poorly connected rural town or village with roads to dangerous to ride on!

edit 2, people don't appear to actually have read what I have said. I am in support of not driving. the issue with the proposed government "incentives" (which are increased costs) this doesn't just affect those in London or other major city's (where most people think the world revolves) but to all small businesses across the country who live in rural towns, which is basically all small towns, which makes up most of the countries coverage. I am not strawmanning as people keep telling me, I am speaking of my own experience and a situation which I know I share with millions of others. Give us the incentive of not dieing on the roads rather than just squeezing us even tighter.

It's not an expensive bike, it's a cheap car.

Before I bought my cargo bike, a trip to Costco was about the only thing I hired a car for.

Full trolley load here, and I could have got some more on..

Are there any movies where characters look cool riding bikes?

There is an unbeliavable amount of movies where characters look cool while driving cars and motorcycles, and thats part of what fed the big car and motorcycle culture the world has today, so I was wondering if there are any movies where characters look cool while using the better mode of transportation

Is carpooling dead?

One thing that makes car culture a bit less horrible is carpooling. It reduces congestion, pollution, and general one-car-one-driver loneliness.

But I feel like, at least in my experience, it's extremely rare these days.

I used to work for an audit firm. The entire audit team would commute sometimes from one metro area to another metro area, sometimes a few hours away. In theory we all could have carpooled, and thus saved gas money and driving effort and gotten a little teambuilding in along the way.

But it literally only happened once, when my manager's car was in the shop or something.

Do any of you guys ever carpool? I feel like we're getting/have gotten to the point as a society that we feel weird without our Own Personal Vehicle™ at hand at all times, kind of parallel to the way we treat our personal smartphones, and we would rather drive and spend more if it means we can keep our own car-oriented freedom of movement at all times.

I hear more about carpooling in previous decades; is it dying? Do any of you guys carpool? Or is this just another way that car culture is leading to more personal atomization and waste?

How can this shit even be legal? Both the hood and top of the bed are just above my damn shoulders.

Just astoundingly ridiculous. Mind you, I am 5'8", and of course, there just has to be an American flag design covering the entire rear window.
