yeah just about everybody can pull it together for the hour or so it takes, if there's neither infrastructure or organisational enforcement of traffic rules it doesn't stick

I'm wondering whether this is due to the emotional bond. Like removed from what people think about cyclists you can rock up on a janky old thing anywhere and nobody but the dentists would care. While if you have a dent in your car, people think it's trashy.
just to be sure but liver rocks. I wish they made vegan liver. Actually you're kind of a scrub if you eat meat but not liver
Advance Wars one is also a really good timekiller
I kind of respect that mariecurieuk post because while it is obviously dumb as all hell it's at least strategically brilliant in that anybody arguing against it looks like a right asshole
I was halfway through a sort of angry post before I realized
there's cheap long johns where I live but that doesn't really cover my "I need to drive this through the snow" need like a 3 wheeler would. It'd suck ass, still, but at least it's doable without me eating shit
something like this, yeah
I prefer Central European cuisine.
okay a lot of which is vegetarian anyhow because meat used to be a rare occasion up until sometimes the 70s and a lot of is is also really easy to make vegetarian with no expensive ingredients.
I feel like your entire approach to ethical consumption is fueled in large parts by ads. Buying second hand clothing from literally whoever probably ends up way more sustainable than buying new patagonia or whoever advertises itself as such. Now sure this might also be hard where you are but it feels to me the approach is all wrong. Same for the veganism, as others pointed out.
EDIT: I feel this might come across as mean-spirited, but I don't mean it so just to be sure
my working theory is most of these people have a sort of sgt. major sixta approach of generation kill fame by which I mean they're child molesters
I am forced to drive a car by the enviromental factors and also me voting the "force me to drive a car" party at every election
don't @ me about vooooooooooooating

Pictured here is a Musketier Radkutsche because it's one you could buy as a consumer, everything else with this config or similar - i.e. space in the back - is mostly those last mile logistic cycles and you can only really get them on a B2B contract.
This here fits an euro pallette in the back and has about ~200kg give or take maximum cargo load given a rider on the heavier side. pricepoint is ~6000€ upwards on account of they hand make this in the south of germany because seemingly nobody wants to do a factory for cargo bikes.
Over the similar in idea longtail cargo bikes that are loads more common this has the upside of giving you a flat, stable base to work from so you can throw on a big box or a café or whatever, like this:
did you know your run of the mill internal gear hub is only spec'd to 50nm? Gotta buy like a fucking Rohloff to get that up to 130nm. ride derailleurs if you want that fat ass

I think it's odd that absolute trip time seems to be the dominating factor around this. Like if you're out of options, you're out of options, sure. But if you can, for example, use the 45 min train ride to do work which you couldn't on a 20 min drive the slower option gives you more time.
It's a big part of why I commute by bicycle. Sure I could shave off 20 minutes of time per day commuting if I used a car. But then I'd lose out on 40 mins of exercise which I need if I don't wanna get all depressed and sleepless.
