LOL, my son and I both drive hatchback Mazda 3's. My son had to drive to a customers site because the boxes were too tall to fit in a truck like this. And I just went to Lowes for mulch and stuff and put 7 bags of mulch, 4 bags of dirt, and 1 bag of compost in the back with my seats down without going over my weight limit. But I did similar in my Saturn Aura 4 door with fold down back seats. I only drove a truck when I needed to tow a boat. When the boat went so did the truck

Where can I get a wheelbarrow bike like that? That actually looks cool..

They are called Cargo Bikes and they come in many forms. This is one of them. Another has a bucket front, and the most common third one involves a big T R U N K that can hold kids, or cargo.

Beware if you're used to what Bikes cost at Walmart - you're in for sticker shock.

I wanted to get the kind that had the trunk for taking my kids on bike rides but they start at 2 grand. I ain't got that kinda money for a nice-thing-to-do.

That particular frame is made by Larry Vs. Harry, called the Bullitt bike, or eBullitt for the electric version. If in the US you may need to do a bit of digging on and offline to find a distributor.

They’re called “bakfiet” or “longjohn” cargo bikes. Similar bikes are made by Urban Arrow, R&M, Bakfiet.nl, and others that aren’t top of mind for me at the moment

People are so triggered by the cybertruck. I want one just for the pure entertainment value of triggering the fragile.

Literal "eats shit so other people have to smell your breath" mindset, lmao
