Have you ever tried to move a cello on a bike? It fucking sucks, and I'm absolutely not going to take my most prized instrument for a bike ride in the rain.
Sounds like a bad case of being a bike-humper. Seek help, and while you're at it, get a fucking clue.
honestly, i haven't.
but i've moved heavier and more fragile shit in a bike trailer, and 2 minutes of internetting located this cellist who toured with not only her instrument, but entire-ass gig setup, by bike: https://can.org.nz/article/cyclist-musician-to-tour-with-cello-and-recycled-solar-powered-electric-assist-bicycle-trail
either way, a comically large musical instrument (which let's be real, those of us with a vision for a post-car future would probably still sign off on as "sure I guess an occasional van is fine for this") doesn't address the nonsense take that private car ownership, and widespread car-centric public space, is a core part of, or even compatible with, "individual autonomy". you've been lied to, and you're now doing free PR work for an industry that's poisoning our lungs, killing our friends and family (especially older and younger people), and torching the planet.
brb making some "bike-humper" stickers.
