Love a good cargo bike!
Gotcha that makes sense - hadn't thought about the two accounts approach, that might be better for going forward. Thanks!
Are you currently located in the US? I think getting a driver's license in the US is unfortunately necessary because of all the car-dependent places that there are.
Well, that's certainly not safe for work
I play Just Cause 4 every once in a while, and ironically because of that mindlessness it's almost the perfect game to pick up and play in short bursts - go in, blow some shit up, be done in 20 minutes. It has its appeal because I know I can just pick it up, where bigger story games like Cyberpunk or Fallout you spend a few minutes every time you start up going "now where was I..."
Nice! Looks like a great ride
That 100% also happens to me when I have my cycling kit on. I need to remember to slow it down every once in a while.
I'm not sure that checks rate any better in security here, or in reliability. The check doesn't have any mechanism within it to verify that there's actually money to be moved, and doesn't guarantee that the payment is yours irrevocably. It also doesn't verify the actual intent to move money, or that the writer of the check is authorized to do so. I get that digital systems have vulnerabilities but let's not pretend that this paper system doesn't.
Is that a fixie, "just" a single speed, or can it be set up either way? Regardless, my hat's off to you - I don't think my knees could take a single speed all the time.
Seriously - it's 2023, why are we still moving money around with paper IOUs
Let's see what everyone is riding out there!
I've got two - my roadie is a 2016 Jamis Ventura Sport, upgraded to Tiagra and a set of HED Belgium C2s with a PowerTap power meter hub
My other ride is an Xtracycle Swoop cargo bike
Let's see everyone's rides!

Yes, but also no - if an ebike is replacing a car trip, it's using 2 orders of magnitude less resources. As an example, this morning I had to take my kiddo to her summer camp, and it's about 5 miles one way. I'm relatively fit, but without electric assistance I'd have driven.
Here in the US, we've built ourselves into a bunch of low-density suburbs - e-bikes represent an incredible opportunity to reduce carbon emissions now, without needing to demolish entire communities and rebuild them more densely.
