Again, need the car. (Okay, I won't add anymore to this thread, but folks get the idea)
I could carry that lamp (safely) on a bike. I'm serious. I'm not saying I would. I'm saying I could. I've carried items as fragile, even more unwieldy, and (possibly) more valuable items by bicycle than that lamp. Respectfully, y'all's just don't get it. I drop in here every couple of years and the ethos never changes. "Car free is just too hard, you have to be some kind of really special individual, or one of those LOSERS who has one too many DUI's ...". Didja's ever think that there are GOOD people. INTELLIGENT people. That the DMV is NEVER going to grant an operator's license to? Probably the number two most frequent reason driving people to suicide must be the loss of driving privileges. But not all people who CANNOT drive kill themselves! Nor do they all molder away in a parent's basement. More should consider a bicycle. When the price of decent e-assists comes to equilibrium I think a lot more involuntary non-drivers are going to take up vehicular cycling. I don't think it would be that bad of a thing if this forum were shut down until such time as actual LCF cyclists become the majority of those participating.
