      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

          You do know tho that “it costs like a car” is a typical anti-cargo bike argument, right?

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

          Thank you for the heads up.
