"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.

micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

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.

Dumb headline, but cool looking trailer.

what sets these two apart is that a bikepacker won't always have to plan for accommodation in advance. A cyclist with a trailer will never.

Am I having a stroke before I even read the main article?

Of all the ways you could structure this line, I feel like the author needlessly went with the most cumbersome.

How can they even get the source wrong so many times? In the pictures and Articles it says "Photo: Youtube/Maxime Darache" but the Channel is "Maxime Derache"

The problem with a large trailer, especially THAT large, is that it would only be practical if you stayed on paved roads.

But if you plan to actually bikepack away from civilization, I can't possibly see this as being fun on beaten rail trails, forest routes, and in the back country.

Still cool, though.
