✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

Every time I see a kid in an urban arrow bakfiets

There is no greater joy I get in life than scooting my toddler around in this

I'm so tempted to get one instead of a Tern GSD. I want an ultra-reliable cargo bike and it seems like my dog would enjoy a bakfiets a lot more than his trailer.

It's awesome. I don't trust it in the snow but otherwise it's an all weather car replacement.

One thing I do like about the trailers is that, at low speeds at least, icy conditions are really just a hazard for the one stuck pedalling the bike. I can do 80% of my trips on paths separated from cars so it's usually about as much risk as crossing the road.
