Only if the loop is geographically distant. If that isnot the case, then
it is irrelevant. Easier and cheaper to return to home to reload andhave
monirning brek, then back fir lunch and again in the afternoon.
As I said, people(trolls) are imagining extreme exmples to try and argue
against bicycles.
There are those of use who have BTDT.

Step right up into the light Troll.
Yawn, and go back to the reality of it. Peak season, overload, not
relevant. as I said in the last message, you're masturbating your little
fantasies of some weird, contrived example to demonostrate some extreme
result. Ask yourself who posts a TV, because that is what your example
requires.
As I said, some of us have been there and done that.

I'm curious how they keep the front wheel from flopping over on that
Pashley mail bike with that huge tub on the front.
In the image gallery the Lizzy Mrs Moulton picture is mighty pleasing
