    The people that ride these things need someone out in front waving a
    red flag like they used to require for people driving the early
    automobiles. Too many rude a$$holes running everyone else off the
    road.

    While I have seen similar and voiced that I thought was a fairly daft idea, they where noticeable by there rarity than being ubiquitous.

    I pass lots of mums with kids in the cargo bikes box and similar which is broadly what one of the delivery firms in london uses to transport people
    and stuff.

    Ie the car by any other names, like with the wee Electric cars they are expensive for what they are, and tend to fail at one of urban biking
    advantages ie using cut throughs which such car shaped stuff will fail at, where as most cargo bikes will for most part.

    Ie such bikes get in the news but aren’t actually used in general.
