Don't be a prick dude. The person mentioned having a wife, that might include kids, and at least they're looking into getting an EV instead of a 4 door short bed V8 pickup truck that will never see a day of work. Pick better targets

[-] criss_cross@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

It does include kids. And the in-laws are a highway away.

I don’t drive daily to work and use public transit and walk when I can, but we do every now and then need to drive somewhere. The E-Bike doesn’t work there.

Are you fucking kidding?

Targets? I lightheartedly suggest someone get an e-bike, and suddenly you think they're a "target"?

The fact that someone has a wife means that they can't buy an e-bike on the off chance that they might have kids?

Fuck, man. What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with your country. People are so car-brained that merely light-heartedly suggesting an e-bike is considered an attack? You have some serious fucking issues.

I have an e-bike adapted for carrying 2 kids that I use daily for kindergarten commute. Can't recommend it enough. I live in Belgium though.

Even if they don't replace a car, they're great vehicles. They're fun to ride, you rarely have to worry about traffic jams, they're cheap to operate, and you can do a lot of your own maintenance.

Does yours have seats on the back? A trailer? I've seen a variety of solutions for transporting kids. The trailer is the solution I see most often, and it looks like the most luxurious option for the kids. They often look like they're some aristocrat being carried on a palanquin, sprawled out and enjoying the ride.

Well it turns out they do, in fact, have kids. Also maybe drink some water and chill a little.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Who the fuck cares if they have kids. You're allowed to own an ebike, even if you have kids.

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

You seem like the one with issues brother...

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 hours ago

Because I think it's ridiculous to be told you're "targetting" someone by merely suggesting they might want to buy an ebike?

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

You're certainly entitled to your opinions and interpretations.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 hours ago

But, you should look at yourself if you think that someone is attacking someone else merely by showing them a picture of a cool e-bike. What is wrong in your life that you think that's an attack? Why are you so incredibly defensive?

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Have I been defensive? Are you sure that isn't projection? I gave you my opinion in a couple of sentences and you've spun out about it all day.
