Ah yes, the inevitable "I have no suggestions, but what if your suggestion doesn't work????" scenario begins
I think they were trying to make an analogous situation for the car with a flat tire on the cargo bike, not saying that cargo bikes aren't awesome
Thanks. Yeah, I think cargo bikes are awesome, but breakdowns can happen to anybody.
If you have the sense to get a cargo bike you almost certainly have the good sense to have a patch kit and a pump on hand for exactly that scenario. Also fixing a flat on a bike is orders of magnitude easier than fixing one on a car
Sure, I'm not here to disagree, just trying to make a charitable interpretation of their comment for the purpose of discussion. Maybe a badly bent rim is more analogous, so just pretend that's the example used if that's more helpful.
