My my my...someone rolls a virtual Big Dummy into the room and next thing you know, we got folks pissing in their neighbor's cornflakes.
Me? I've never had a nice touring bike, or a cargo bicycle for that matter.
But I know one thing: when I saw the Big Dummy for the first time, I got excited. As in, little kid with his first bicycle kinda excited. Remember that feeling?
You could even say I got inspired, if that's not too much drama for ya. Inspired to change my behavior and stop using my Tacoma for stupid little tasks around town. Inspired to make changes beyond the proposed functionality of the Big Dummy: we've been recycling every day, planning a garden for the first time, supporting our local organic farmers, and more.
"Wait, ALL because you saw a #$%& photo of the Big Dummy?"
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
So, I'm not here to piss on your cornflakes. I'll assume that most of you here are much wiser and more experienced than me when it comes to touring/commuting/hauling stuff on a bicycle.
Meanwhile, I've got a Dummy waiting for me in Pennsylvania, and I'm pretty doggone stoked about the bike and where it's already "taking me," let alone where it'll take me once it's here.
