I mean I'm all for making fun of truck owners but in this case it's just straight up not a good comparison. The bicycle is carrying half the number of bags...
They're far bigger bags. I went to find the original images elsewhere in the thread. The bike is carrying 200 litres of soil, the truck is only carrying 170 L
soil isn't liquid
A litre is just a measure of volume. You can measure any volume with litres. The packages on the cargo bike straight up have "50 L" printed on the side of them.
water isn't that loud
Piss harder then
I did once but it ripped
I guess I can't bake anymore since I can't measure out a cup of sugar
L stands for liters and not liquid.
L stands for what you take because you tjink soil is a liquud
Also: distance, hills, etc.
That bike is a better solution for a lot of people, but let's not pretend it's a practical one for everyone.
