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:

I dont think it reaches the dangerous speeds.

    Speed is relative. It may not go fast relative to the ground, but relative to oncoming traffic..

    The same us true no matter whether you're cycling, walking or skateboarding.

    Though in a pretty good situation, you hopefully have decent sidewalks and bikelines with some separation from traffic, especially oncoming traffic.

    If these things are in the bike lane, they seem hazardous to more typical occupants of that lane, if the car lane, seems more dangerously close to big vehicles.

    That said, if confined to typical downtown traffic speeds, probably not as much to worry about usually.
