@billyjoebowers @mekkaokereke @carnage4life "an electric bike is not enough" may be more a matter of ignorance of options. My bike's got no e-assist (yet) but it has a trailer, and the trailer does a lot. I'd like to see someone load that snow blower into a small car.

People are encouraged to think that they can't do stuff like this on a bike.
The trailer is *easy*, two friends of mine have hauled good-sized loads with it w/o practice, it just worked.

@billyjoebowers @mekkaokereke @carnage4life Oh hey, this is me 😁

We got rid of our car a few years ago and got a couple of Tern HSD cargo e-bikes. I use mine for probably 7 out of 10 trips I make around town.

We started leasing a car when it looked like one of us might have an out-of-town commute. But, that changed and now we're looking to go car-less again.

The main things that make me reach for our car is inclement weather and longer highway trips out of town. Would be nice if there was something just-good-enough for those cases.

Like she said in that video, I don't need a TV, mini-fridge, and a sofa in my car 😅

I believe I have gotten FIVE spam texts today that look like genuine Harris fundraising appeals, but are fake.

Lest it need be said… don’t donate to a blind text message, kids! Go to Act Blue https://secure.actblue.com and donate there.

( so very, very brief—on the order of hundredths of a second. The first photograph of a red sprite, confirming their existence, wasn’t taken until 1989)
