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.

Look, I love bikes- I ride them, fix them, dream about them, but honestly, as a former electrician I can also acknowledge that it would be severely limiting to do that job on a bike.
If you’re working on domestic then you need a few ladders, a couple of hundred kilos of tools, at least 3 rolls of different cables, and a small shop of various outlets etc. not to mention that ducking out to the wholesalers to pick up something to finish a job would take 1hr instead of 10 min.
Industrial electrician would just be funny - imagine cycling across town with a 500kg variable speed drive or switchboard on your pushy..
I couldn’t do the job efficiently with a sedan, let alone something with a fraction of the capacity. Also - where does the apprentice sit?
Obviously every situation is different.
When I was in electrical we'd take the truck to the site on the first and last day, and park the tool trailer sat in situ. The rest of the days we'd pile in a berliner (sedan), which still gave us wheels if we needed to grab something. I'd bike if the site was close enough.
As the apprentice, I sat in the back of the Berliner, and on a milk crate between the seats in the truck.
People still use that term where you live? 😳 That's like, old, real old, it used to be a horse carriage and then was used for early cars. Haven't seen it outside a museum until now.
Québécois term. It specifically refers to a 4 door with a trunk that extends past the passenger area.
I'm pretty sure we use sedan in the rest of Canada.
Love it (I'm from Berlin)
