So a bub is on the way. Time to grow up and get a mamachari like a proper law abiding citizen would.
Or should I get a gravel bike (I'm eyeing a low end Jamis Renegade) and slap on a rear rack. Then I can use it with panniers for some shopping or a baby seat.
Is there something that I'm missing that mamachari is better at? I guess lower centre of gravity, more upright position and most likely it being an e-bike to help out with going uphill, but I think that can be solved by low gearing on a gravel bike.
Personally I've only ever seen 1 person on a gravel bike doing groceries with panniers. But everything else is mamacharis.
My plan is to eventually take it out on some longer adventures and it being my bad weather bike, since washing my road bike in an apartment isn't the easiest task.
