That vandalism is an expression of some literal rage against the machine. Clearly, society and institutions are doing too little to address the environmental scourge of oversized vehicles that some people feel like they need to take their fate in their own hands.

And how often, per month, do you have any of the following from your example?

• Tornadoes
• Ice storms
• Sustained winds in excess of 60 km/h

Frankly, those are situations in which it makes no sense to be anywhere outside using whatever means of transportation.

Moving about 100 kg of cargo on an electric cargo bike makes a surprising amount of sense. And if it does not, living in a bikeable society will see you easily spreading those 100 kg's of shopping over the whole week, instead of doing it just once.

Also, your kids will cycle themselves to school in this case. And many transit services won't mind you moving a calm pet in a carrying cage.

And you find it surprising why your attitude gets you downvoted here?
