I didn't think I had any toxic masculine traits until my wife pointed out to her family that I don't own any jackets with hoods.
When my brother in law asked what I did when it rained I said: "Get wet like a cool person."

I know! I cackled along with everyone else! But the stretch where Alex' sweet home life was replaced with alternating absent and violent parents hit PRETTY CLOSE TO HOME.

Lete add a detail or two: I live in a Dublin suburb, with medium good cycle infrastructure. The eldest can cycle a K or 2 at a go, but no farther, and most extra curriculars are farther.
I have a Babboe City acoustic, and am comfortable with a fair bit of bike wrenching.
Sorry, I might have missed a step: BBSHD?

26.07.2025 22:19 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That could definitely work. I'm on a Babboe City acoustic, so I might need to diy it.
26.07.2025 22:18 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That's true, but I live in Ireland. The eldest can cycle to school, but not as far as to music class or football or barbershop. I'm looking for a solution that bridges the gap.
26.07.2025 22:17 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Kids are getting a little big to be sitting next to each other in the cargo bike. Also, an acoustic cargo bike is fairly limited in range that I can take them, as it's heavy fully loaded.
What are the good larger box cargo bikes? Should I look at using an ebike conversion kit on my current bike?
Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

21.07.2025 19:54 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0What did you do when your kids started getting a bit big to ride in the cargo bike together?
The 7 year old can go lots of places on his own, but definitely not everywhere. 3yo still needs to ride with me.
I'm flirting with getting a bigger cargo ebike. Thoughts? #bikesky #cargobike
"There's no machine known that is more efficient than a human on a bicycle. Bowl of oatmeal, thirty miles. You can't come close to that."
โNot surprising that Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has known about the efficiency of the bicycle for a long time.

I once saw Dylan Moran eating in a Greek Restaurant I was walking past. He saw me notice him and nodded while not stopping talking to the people he was dining with.
