you must have really generously designed roads wherever you are 😂

and where do the bikes stop if there is not enough space?

you might be thinking about airplanes.

So, dream on, your car-centric “utopia” doesn’t exist.

oh the car-centric dystopia definitely exists, unlike your cargo-bike one.

you see, there is not necessarily cult on the other side that fights with your cult just because you have another flag. maybe the other side commented on your thoughts because they see a problem in them and that is how you can improve. you will see that, when you get out of your basement one day.

ok, i fixed that 😆

i will ignore that you are not person i was asking and this is not an answer to my question and i will answer to this irrelevant randomly placed piece of information.

You can’t even park a van for streets sometimes.

and you can park cargo bike there? how are you going to do that? do the parked cars suddenly disappear?

or are going to just illegally park it on the sidewalk, because rules don’t apply to you? do you think people will still tolerate it when there isn’t going to be one bike parked on the sidewalk, but twenty?

the think is, you (general you, not you personally) always think some problems don’t affect bikes, just because they are rather curiosity right now.

if you had successfully managed to replace all delivery vans with cargo bikes, you would put on surprised pikachu face finding you actually need more parking space than before.

yes, that may be true in specific circumstances.

if they can fit in between two cars, waiting on light stop, they can get ahead of them. that maybe true in traffic jam in city center.

this advantage goes away once:

1. you are outside of traffic jam hour
2. you are outside of traffic jam area (out of city center)
3. you are driving cargo bike that does not allow you to squeeze in between two cars.

so not really useful for discussion about cargo bikes, is it?

Wouldn’t that technology make them easy to rewind fast-forward?

Really? Where is here, so I can find more info about it?

I replaced them with smaller versions (<1 MB each)

what the hell? that is still absurdly large for banner and icon, they should fit into 100 kB total.

found that cargo bikes not only deliver faster than vans

that must have been some seriously specific circumstances.

you own 60+ seat restaurant and you have time to do your own delivery? that is very trustworthy comment ;)

this is lame, mod.

just because you don’t agree with post doesn’t mean it is not useful for discussion. are you so afraid of any kind of opposition?

which cargo bike model has the same or better capacity as the van per footprint per time spent on the road?

The footprint of a cargo bike is at most a fourth of your average delivery van

yeah, no. the cargo bike needs width of a car lane and its not four times shorter. it will actually add to congestion when every car behind it has to change lane to go around.

maybe you have some really generous bike lanes somewhere, but they don’t lead to home of every one of your potential customer and, surprise, they also take a space.

Cargo bikes are usually e-bikes, giving them a speed of at least 25 km/h.

that’s top speed. top speed of the car is somewhere else. and the average speed for both of them is somewhere else and if you believe that average speed of a bike is going to be in the same category as average speed of the car, then go, fly back to other pigeons and tell them you won.

cargo bike is not efficient alternative to a car, because it is far slower and has much lower capacity than the car, so you will deliver less cargo in longer time. or same cargo in same time using a LOT MORE bikes.

that doesn’t mean and i never said they don’t have its use-cases, but claiming it will solve the traffic congestion is wild exaggeration.

You post a picture of a bike that’s as wide as its handlebar, which is not wider than a regular bike which also has to have enough space to fit its handlebars through and claim it is too wide for a bike lane.

yeah, there are absolutely not wheels on its side which makes it wider, the whole construction doesn’t give it totally different driving characteristics and there is a bike lane to home of every single one of your potential customer, so, you know, these bikes won’t use the width of one car lane, because often times it will be the only option.

and a lot of empty space in the cargo-hold

yeah, lot of empty space to take everything you would fit in your average delivery van. everyone can clearly see that.

you don’t seem to argue in good faith

oh i am? are you sure about that? 😂

Are you high?

no. is that a requirement for talking to you?

I see tons of those cargo bikes on the bike lanes each day. Parents bringing their kids to daycare, postal workers bringing letters and parcels, landlords bringing all their tools between apartment complexes around the city.

oh i would like to see your face when all goods that is being transported in vans would suddenly start clogging these bike lanes.

fortunately for everyone it is not going to happen, so you can dream on and fly to tell other pigeons you have won this discussion. 😂

what baffles me is not that someone does this (not that i condone that) but that person in his position does that signed with his work email (or email that isn’t total burner)

this monstrosity, that can fit one backpack and bag of groceries into its cargohold, doesn’t fit in any bike lane, unless that bike lane is as wide as the one for cars. so it needs space in the car lane and is maybe slightly shorter, but that’s not really significant difference.

also do you imagine all bike lanes full of these? yeah, that would solve the congestion problem for sure ;)

yeah, hard physical work basically rejuvenates you… it is the latest secret of celebrities, they all do that instead of botox and spa…
