Our four year old wanyed to save up for a ride on car ‘like Bluey’. Her income is $5 per week and the model that looks like Bluey’s is $200. We primarily use our #bakfiets #cargobike as our main family car, and she already has a bike.

Us: How about you buy a doll seat to add to your bike?
Us: Your dolls will think it’s so much cooler to ride on your bike than in a car. Which do you think is more fun, the bike than the car?
Her: The car.
Us: Okay, so all the trips you’re going in the next few days can be by car.

Yes, she did eventually agree.

A cartoon showing two intersecting bike paths. The bike paths are filled with speeding fat bikes and electric cargo bikes. The cargo bikes are all decked out with bells and whistles; one has a hot tub with children playing in the cargo area, while in another, a child is playing video games in front of a large screen. There is only one regular bicycle visible on the bike paths; it is being passed on both sides by angry-looking people on e-bikes. A woman tries in vain to cross at a crosswalk.

Doing research about a #bakfiets (two-wheel cargo bike) for myself. ...and mixed in with the youtube reviews of different makes and models there are videos about other aspects of #bikes and biking.

I found this one quite interesting.

Stopped for #IceCream and got this sweet parking spot right in front. #BikeTooter #bakfiets #CargoBike
A thread about #bakfiets or loosely translated 'cargobikes' in the Netherlands. You know Dutch people love #bikes, Danes love them too, but we talk about Dutch ones here.
My tertiary provider: “Because of the fuel crisis, we will provide the option to join by zoom for the next six weeks, then we’ll reassess”
My teacher: “If you do join on Zoom, you’ll just be a bit of a fly on the wall, you can still share news but it’s a bit hard to join in on group activities”
My friend: “Do you need a ride home?”
Me - “no thanks, I’m all good.”
-gets on ebike
-zips away thinking ‘surely everyone just needs one of these’

Thinking about getting myself a #bakfiets (two-wheeled front-loaded #cargobike). The idea has been cooking for years but I finally have the energy to do the research properly. ...and the necessary funds to make things real too.

1️⃣ Muscle powered
2️⃣ Lightweight
3️⃣ Regionally available
4️⃣ Not too expensive

I think I found a match yesterday.

Them: “what you gonna do when you have to take your old bath up the hill to the council tip? Like to see you doing *that* on your bike!”
