Image: A four-wheeled vehicle that appears to be a cross between a bicycle, a go-cart, and a mini-truck

Response text from high t alpha shemale @gluetaster: that’s not a cargo bike man that’s a loopholemobile


Edit: I found a slightly higher-quality version of the image:

    The description of the vehicle is:

    “Image: A four-wheeled vehicle that appears to be a cross between a bicycle, a go-cart, and a mini-truck”

    There’s really nothing about that vehicle that’s bicycle-like. First of all, it has more than 2 wheels, so it’s not a bicycle. In addition, you don’t move it by pedalling. You also sit inside it, not on it.

    It’s really more of a cross between a golf cart and a delivery truck. It might legally get through loopholes meant for bicycles, but there’s nothing about it that looks bicycle-like.

      To be clear, that was just a description I quickly made up for the post. I’ve been trying to make more of an effort to caption my image posts with text, in order to make them more disability-friendly and accessible.
