I might actually respect cyclists if they look like they can bludgeon me to death with a baguette. Why isn't the "gym of life" making more of these guys?
>bakfietsmoeder
NOBODY. IN. THE. NETHERLANDS. FUCKING. SAYS. THIS.
I have NO clue where this guy gets this from and I am almost 100% sure he straight up made this up for the video. I have not once in my fucking LIFE heard the term "bakfietsmoeder" until he made the bakfiets video. And my parents are people who will complain at dinner about every tiny possible thing that they encountered on the road that day so if this was such a common phenomenon and such a common term among Dutch people I would know about it. Where in the living anal crack of fuck did he get this term from?
I don't speak Dutch, but as a native Dutch speaker does it sound to you like it might be a compound word? Like someone who has a loose grasp of the Dutch language just kludged two Dutch words together to form a new word to describe some retarded thing he made up? Because I'll bet that's what happened.

The people who say that are the ones who will tell you that being able to walk down three flights of stairs to the sandwich counter are healthier than you by proxy.

It honestly does sound DSL as fuck. "bakfietsmoeder" is just a really clunky word to refer to a concept that most dutch people just don't give a shit about. I barely ever see bakfietsen to begin with because unlike what Jason says, most Dutch people would prefer to just drive to the grocery store. There are only about 400.000 bakfietsen total in a country with a population of 17 million so it's not like it's such a common occurrence that there's a common term for it. A Dutch person would more likely, when frustrated with such a person, say
>Zag zo'n een of ander kutwijf op een bakfiets
Instead of
>Ik zag een bakfietsmoeder!
Maybe and this is a huge MAYBE, it's a term used in the specific part of Amsterdam that he lives in. I say this because Amsterdam is about 40% ethnic Dutch, so in a place where DSL is the norm, I can imagine such a word coming into existence. But this is really being charitable, Jason loves to just make shit up so making up a fake term to propagandize a vehicle he likes is definitely not out of reach for him.

You're not the first Dutch person actually living in the Netherlands to call him out on his bullshit. I'd imagine it's far easier for grifters like him to make shit up when it's about a country most Americans have never stepped foot in and can't speak the language of, so I'm unwilling to give him the benefit of the doubt.

It's on Wikitionary, but that doesn't say much:
I love how the definition is "bourgeois urban liberal mother" and not just "mother on a cargo bike". The Dutch Version of the entry doesn't have that definition though.
The Dutch entry was created in 2023 and its source, which uses the term very informally, was written in 2022. Dutch Google only shows a few pages of relevant results, interspersed with irrelevant ones, which never happens for a popular query. Most of the pages found by Google use the term to mean "hipster"/"gentrifier", so the English definition is more accurate than the Dutch one. It's definitely a new, niche term used only seriously used by urbanists.

I don't get why urbanists are so obsessed with the idea of cycling to the grocery store anyways. Even with a cargo bike you are not able to get in enough groceries to feed a household that has more than 1 child. Also the netherlands has like 9 billion different supermarkets and all of them have their own pros and cons which you tend to account for by just getting certain groceries from certain stores and driving to like 3 stores for a full grocery trip. At least that is what my mom did (I personally just get everything from the nearest Albert Heijn because I'm lazy). That'd be absolutely impossible to do on a bike.
That would require me to go to Amsterdam which I will never do again. I hate that city with all my might. And I doubt he'll make a video on my city (knock on wood) because it's mostly unremarkable.
That dude looks like he could easily smoke a pack, down a bottle of wine, and fuck his two other mistresses before the big race just to give himself a far greater competitive advantage.
They want you to stop on the way home from work every day and buy just enough for that evening's meal... like how it used to be... before we invented home refrigeration and shelf-stable groceries and other things that mean you only have to shop weekly, maybe even not that.
They are arguing for deliberate regression. Some know it, some don't.
But the underlying goal is to make it impossible for you to be self-sufficient for longer than 48 hours and never more than a 30 minute bike ride away from your "community" (where you belong dammit!)
Why?
They seek to force you to accept their socialist solutions to all social problems by dint of having no better option and literally no escape from your designated habitation zone.
Cargo bikers are the final form of cyclist. Cargo bikes are insanely expensive, too slow for the street and too big for sidewalks, they're worthless at transporting anything of real value and are just a sort of symbol to show people you're a progressive bellend

I used to bicycle to work. I never once stopped at the store even though there was one on the route. For work I was carrying a laptop and a change of clothes, I'd have to lock up and bring all that into the store if I wanted to shop and I'd be wearing "cyclist clothes". I did sometimes bicycle to the grocery store, but all I brought were empty bags and wore a more normal outfit.

Not cyclist, commuter, that's what urbanist bicycle riders want you to call them . Cyclists are aryans who have t rex legs and fucked up backs who ride exclusively for sport and drive to any place they actually gotta be. I respect them.
Cycle commuting is great until it's raining or cold or both. Cargo bikes would be great if we lived in a climate controlled dome or something, in a kind of midcentury utopia. Not to mention they're only for the able bodied. So I did some brainstorming and came up with alternative designs:
a cargo bike with a motor, and instead of heavy batteries it runs on an energy dense liquid
But again, what about inclement weather? Perhaps we could add a canopy?
Much better, it's a useful cargo bicycle now, but, cargo capacity is kind of small I think, it underutilizes the motor. It needs to carry more.
Pretty sweet cargo bike now. Enclosed cargo area and cabin, very efficient. But maybe the tricycle configuration can be improved upon? It's kind of unstable...
So I think this might be the best cargo bike design:

and if the city is anything less than completely flat, you need to be an Olympic standard athlete to pedal them any substantial distance - which is one reason why you never see them in Sheffield, a city where the altitude varies between 100 and 1,000 feet above sea level, and where the only flat land is on top of some people's heads

I think you should cover the back over, in case it rains.
And maybe add a row of seats so you can take friends/family. Mass transport is more efficient, remember.
Oh, and make the wheels bigger, we all know how dangerous potholes can be for cyclists.
There you go.

Imagine doing so much steroids you have no neck and the only muscle you have is in your thighs, all so you have to ride around in circles or behind a car so you can pretend you are a moped. Pathetic eurocuckery of a sport.
