I need the #bicycle equivalent of a subcompact hatchback, not the bicycle equivalent of a Formula 1 race car, or the bicycle equivalent of a soccer mom's or hockey dad's SUV, and definitely not the bicycle equivalent of a Paris-Dakar off-road rally truck.
My bicycle needs to hold me, my handbag, my briefcase, and my groceries, and protect us from precipitation; it will never leave the roads of my town, but it does need to handle loads stably and be comfortable, lightweight, and inexpensive.
