It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Having driven multiple models of cargo bikes, some with cargo in the back, having an overview of your whole bike and only having the main tire behind you handels way better. Taking corners and leaning into a curve feels way more intuitive.

Is that one wheel in the back, two in front, or two wheels in back, one in front? The bike in the article has one front wheel, two back wheels. I'm just surprised that it's more stable to put the weight closer to the single wheel than the dual wheels.

Edit: oh my god I'm losing my mind. The one in the article only has two wheels. I swear it had three!
