I used to weave through traffic on the streets of manhattan on my 1970s lotus racing bike, free as the wind.

Now I ride this.

Children will humble you in ways you never considered.

(I do love my ebike though, even if it is so embarrassing)

@minmi GSD bud! My friend called it the minivan of bikes and it's not beating the allegations. It's also an incredible ride, though 🀩✨

@cargot_robbie yuuuuup. But just like minivans, you can’t deny it does an awesome job. It’s incredible to me I can get both my kids up the hill I live on. Actually life changing.

And embarrassing haha.

@minmi Embarassing 😲 I hope not, It's so rad! I bet the kids have a much better experience than from the back of a true minivan. I have so many curious parents asking about it every summer
@cargot_robbie they love it. It’s so fun! I’m really grateful there’s enough safe routes around the city now (though wouldn’t mind more!)
@minmi It makes such a difference. Our city has put in so many bike routes in the ~20 years I've lived here, it's night and day. I can only imagine what 20 more years will do
@cargot_robbie it’s incredible to see the difference from when I was growing up, and the massive amount of bikes compared to what we used to have. I love it so much!!
