  Yeah, no.

  Those things are death traps and there’s a reason why they’re mostly prevalent in nations where people literally can’t afford anything safer.

      Motorcycle rider here. Yes, families with children will rent a truck anytime they want to purchase groceries, and when it’s raining. It’s not practical.

      This is a stupid thread.

        Are you by chance from the US? Because other countries have sensible zoning laws and public transit, making cars for families not a necessity but a luxury. Where I live, nobody needs a car. Shopping is done by cargo bike or hand cart, family trips are taken by train or metro.

        If you live in a stupid country tho people might depend on cars.

      I retract my statement, this looks perfectly safe and effective.

  I live in Maine. Riding a motorcycle in the winter is not only highly unpleasant, it’s borderline suicidal.

  I’m all for 2 wheeled transport where it works, but anywhere that gets snow for months out of each year it’s a non starter as a primary transportation mode

  This might be the dumbest comment I have ever read on the Internet. That’s like 30 years of comments.

  You would think killing off the stupid would improve the breed. But apparently the real world shows it does not. Besides, I ain’t riding a motorbike at -40 Celsius or Fahrenheit or in 30cm/12" of fresh snow or in a thunderstorm.
