Unfortunately that person seems to live in a region where cycling is reserved for specific places, and moving a bike around town is done with a giant pickup truck.
It’s a fun experiment but its not like this is useful for anything.
I like Seth’s videos but I absolutely cannot relate, as he brings his bikes to the trails using a giant pickup truck. I pull my bike trailer with a kayak through my city’s bike lanes, and I’m glad I don’t need another vehicle to carry them both from one place to another.
It was never meant to be anything more than fun/interesting though, like all his stuff.

Just a wild guess, but maybe you don’t ride downhill like Seth does? It’s not like downhill biking is “reserved” for specific places - it’s just that you pretty much need a bike park for it.
Sure, maybe you’re an ultra athlete, but the vast majority of downhill riders aren’t keen on pedaling a heavy mountain bike with plush suspension and knobby wide tires tens of kilometers to the park, then grinding all the way up the hill just to ride down, repeat that a bunch of times, and finally pedal all the way back home.
No I just live without a car and make it a point to cycle everywhere I go, and I’m pointing out what I find unrelatable about micromobility in a place about this.
Well there’s the difference. For you cycling is a mode of transport, for Seth (and many others) it’s a hobby.
Good luck stopping.
Trailer brakes are activated by the ebikes ebrakes, with the aid of a 12v battery and brake controller.
You’ll stop eventually (perhaps once and for all even).
