    I am eyeing off a specific style of cargo ebike.

    I happened to see it in the thumbnail of the video.

    It is very expensive compared to regular bikes, which I have bought many of over the years.

    So I made a comment lamenting about the expensive price tag for that specific style of bike I happen to be interested in.

    It wasn’t a meta commentary on cargo bikes in general. It wasn’t a complaint about total cost of ownership. It wasn’t anything other than "I want one of those, but it’s expensive.

    Chill out

      Ok, no bad feelings. You do know tho that “it costs like a car” is a typical anti-cargo bike argument, right?

      I also think and agree that cargo bikes are expensive, much more than a typical bike, but why you mentioned 15k? Is it the actual price of that bike? I’m just curious…

        No, I was unaware of that particular dog whistle, which explains why I got the reaction I did.

        Thank you for the heads up.
