General University Area Updates and Rumours

You literally said "you can't" X, Y and Z with a bike and you're calling me black and white? I'm not sure whether that's hubris or just lacking in self-reflection.

It's like you don't read what people are writing on this topic, and you do this all the time.

See? Nobody said that, or even anything close to it. That's a strawman and you make these quite frequently.

But you are the one who says you can't do all these tasks on a bike.

Just because you arrogantly dismiss it as an anecdote doesn't mean things like panniers, trailers and cargo bike don't exist and they don't enable people to get groceries.
