This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio -- a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

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.
