    Thats what your jacket is for.

    You can get bike trailers.

    Infrastructure issue rather than the bike itself.

    What are you hauling anyway?

          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.

          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.

          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.

        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.

      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.
