This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio – a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

    I think they were trying to make an analogous situation for the car with a flat tire on the cargo bike, not saying that cargo bikes aren’t awesome

      Thanks. Yeah, I think cargo bikes are awesome, but breakdowns can happen to anybody.

      If you have the sense to get a cargo bike you almost certainly have the good sense to have a patch kit and a pump on hand for exactly that scenario. Also fixing a flat on a bike is orders of magnitude easier than fixing one on a car

        Sure, I’m not here to disagree, just trying to make a charitable interpretation of their comment for the purpose of discussion. Maybe a badly bent rim is more analogous, so just pretend that’s the example used if that’s more helpful.
