I think car owners are only just getting an idea of what it has felt like to own a decent bike forever.
Imagine if a car left locked on an urban street for a couple of nights was almost guaranteed to be stolen.
Imagine that most people you knew just didn’t buy new cars because they were too likely to be stolen.
Imagine that you had to park in in a garage, and could only visit friends with a garage to park it in.
Imagine you intentionally painted silly colours so people wouldn’t take it.

I wish I could go get a new cargo bike, but the delema is: If I actually use it all the time it’ll get stolen, if I have to drag it into every building I visit then I won’t use it.
So it’s just not rational to ride what I actually want to ride.

@paige Good luck with your bike search. Dumoulin on Jean Talon has lots of short-longtails but they do look fancy and wouldn't survive long on the street.
