micromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility
Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"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.

I’m in London, and I frequently see a local painter/decorator with his stuff on a cargo bike - including a stepladdder. Sees entirely practical
For that person sure. My neighbour has 4 different types of nail guns, each for the special task they're required for. The air compressor to drive them. The high-pressure air hose. About 12 batteries for his various saws, drills, etc. Speaking of saws, he has circular. Drop. Reticulation. And more. Then his hammers, hand saws, nails for said guns. Screws. Ladders. Straight edges. There would be lots of things I've missed like saw horses for his drop saw. The actual portable drop saw bench. Then of course the materials. Wood, glues, putty, etc etc etc. There is no way this guy is getting on a bike. My neighbour is your typical tradie in Australia.
Edit. Down voted for the facts. Come on, argue some facts if you disagree.
You'll always be downvoted for facts they don't like here, it's normal with this kind of people.
And with "facts" you mean the strawmen you like to burn?

Say, how many sock puppet accounts do you have exactly to spread your hate of bikes?
I don't spread "hate of bikes". I don't hate bikes, either. I've probably done more kilometers on them than most of the regulars here.
I just point out the extreme level of bigotry in this kind of "kill all cars" communities.
There is no "kill all cars community" except in your head...
Well, if you believe so...
So tell us, where are the people calling to "kill all cars" in this community here? Can you point to them?
Where is this "extreme bigotry", can you point to that here?
Oh, right. There is none.
You want to see "extreme bigotry"? Look at this guy making false claims and then going quiet when being asked for receipts: https://lemmy.world/comment/4953347
Get lost, troll.
Hilariously untrue.
