I think she's a little too young to be drinking

[–] Madeyro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

That's super cool and practical. What bike is that?

Sick bike!

I wonder about the "this machine kills fascists" sticker, I've seen that on a lot of bikes and while I wholeheartedly support the message, I don't quite get how it relates to bikes? Bikes make really bad weapons 😅

Edit: I found the context https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists

Seems like a good read, will check it before going to sleep!

Not supporting gas/auto/etc. companies that they use for power. Not doing long car commutes doubling that. Living in/aspiring to walkable, close-knit communities that function rather than exurbs thereby stripping more power away from them by building human links with your neighbors. Etc.

Edit: also I could run them over.

I see, I took it a lot more literally:)

[–] TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 2 points 22 hours ago

Best thing I've seen all year.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Love it!

It looks like a postal bike, what brand is it?

[–] Dippy@beehaw.org 1 points 23 hours ago

Thats so gorgeous

I don't know why you need that shovel, but I need that shovel.

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Removing invasive plants on my routes about town. Rootslayer brand, the smallest one. It's real good.

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago

That's cool as fuck of you

I was just thinking that looks like a great trail tool!

Dope rig, friend

Kids seated on the middle beam, dont think i have ever seen that setup here in Europe lol. Parents on a bike have their kids in a trailer, or on the back seat.

[–] daveywaveyboy@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I had the same setup for my son when he was little ( now a long time ago). It’s the best place for a child. You can talk to them you can hear them, they are cradled in your arms. They get to “help” steer and do the bell. Wouldn’t have them any other place

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 1 points 22 hours ago

Aww that sounds adorable. Maybe these seats catch on around here too!

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's new tech. Front setup is really good because you can have a conversation with your child very easily while riding. The child also has a really engaging, dynamic view of the world from right up front. And they get a shadow experience of holding bike bars! It's been a big deal good thing for us.

[–] robear@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks much safer too. Its also usually a backseat where I am. I've seen some nasty accidents with parents dropping bikes or getting hit with kids strapped into the back seat.

At least in the front you have a chance to grab them.

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Totally agree

[–] vatlark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The videos/marketing for them is everywhere. The kids are recorded saying funny things and talking to their parents.

I think its a good design, and i think its the most selfie friendly bike seat which has helped the success.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago

selfies= safe?

[–] sachamato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I've seen also a lot of fron seats for kids, specially in the Netherlands and Switzerland. Kind of cool!

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nice setup! Are those cork grips? Do you like them?

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ty! And I really like them a lot.

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

They look like the bees knees, my man

[–] h54@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Nice ride! I dig the colors too.

[–] spacehulk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that a clover necklace on your daughters handle bars? Mine used to make those all the time

[–] JillyB@beehaw.org 3 points 1 day ago

Hell yeah. I love headtube mounted front racks. I want a black snow with one so bad.
