His grocery store had better be pretty close. That thing with those little wheels must calculate to about 3 gear inches.

That would certainly cut down on the cost of groceries as there isn't too much room left for them

I wonder if the bash guard is there to keep his bare feet safe from chainring bites.

Sometimes I want something bad. A bad hair day would be an improvement for me.

I'd like it if I could mount a couple of panniers on it. And if it was white.

I'm sure there would be no problems mounting several panniers/storage bags along the sides of it.

Well if not that one, then surely this one ... the new RANS HammerTruck. No problem fitting panniers on it!
