You're gunna hurt yourself: Carry Shit Olympics (aka the Cargo Bike thread)

Man I thought that was some nerd internet personality riding through Maspeth but it’s a nerd politician riding down 31st ave in East Elmhurst. Much better!

we gonna need the AOC bike check

I think it’s the trek. But that brings up the question of what the hell is it full of?

short form video content that is Subway Takes but it’s just famous people bike checks

Has anybody ridden one of these things?

I’m not super tempted but I recently found out that they weigh 165 lbs, which actually sounds kinda like a plus to a big dude like me? Still sort of absurd though, where is all that weight coming from?

I take it back, I was looking for a bucket bike with square corners but now I think it is a weird basket strapped to a rack.

I was impressed/frightened by her double mega u-lock loadout but it makes sense for an e-bike in the city shartmo

This guy really triggered me. What’s the point in riding a cargo bike if you still wear your backpack on your back? He’s only carrying a tarp up front.

I see this often. Mostly with commuters who have an empty pannier rack and a loaded backpack.

I do this with my mess bag and cagro on short trips, sometimes its just faster and easier especially if the bag is mostly empty.

Where does that photo blog exist
I remember they had pac designs bags and they quit going into Colorado

here’s my lukewarm take: generally, wearing a backpack on a bike is deranged behavior

First guess is usually that they’re carrying a laptop and dont want it as rattled around in a rack versus on their meaty carcass
