"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

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.

Those back seats with railings feel like a broken leg waiting to happen if the bike tips over. Long johns seem so much safer for kids. Bikes shouldn't restrict leg movement. Even standard child seats have better fall protection since they have those high backs.
I really don't understand why bakfiets aren't more popular here in the US, or at least why they aren't at least starting to become more available. I've got a Lectric longtail now, but if somebody came out with an affordable bakfiets I'd upgrade in a heartbeat.
