In the Netherlands there it's a kind of cargo bike called bakfiets (literally "box bicycle") that is a daily driver for people who carry groceries, etc. or to transport their kids around town. In cities it's the most common way to transport small children.
It would be the perfect vehicle for Chris to cart his sonichus and rosechus around.

I've got a Bike with a Trailer and been considering a Bakfiets after my Collage bought a few for general use and they are a great short distance (3 miles is my longest ride on one on country lanes on a non electric version) and it's a viable option for Chris especially if he had a e-bike version.
They are easy to ride even if your moderately fit (I'm a tall not exactly svelte guy, who smokes far more than he should and I can ride them without issue as I said) so Chris would only have to put in a bit off effort and there in lies the stumbling block - Effort is something he will only put in if he REALLY desires something and he will try an cut corners where ever he can, the next is cost those things are not exactly cheap a non e-bike version can start around £1k and go up drastically from there.
He'd be better off with a normal bike, panniers, front rack and backpack for cargo I know a guy who lives in a Rural area and uses it as his main mode of transport with that kind of set up.
/bike sperging.
To dissuade Chris from doing shitty things, starving him will not work. It has to be an immediate, sharp consequence, applied with such surety that he reflexively avoids the behavior even after that surety is gone years later.
Yep you have to have an immediate negative reinforcement applied constantly and consistantly and he would have to be punished for trying to game the system or actions he's been asked to carry out or he will try and get creative.
I wonder if Chris has ever gotten a real betting in his life, you know the kind that leaves you in the floor coughing up teeth & and unable to remember what happened, all you know is that is happened.
Nope never, the closest he's ever had was a scuffle on the bus that made him take the short bus from then on, BUT an I have to stress this a beating wouldnt get him to behave - he's already got stock excuses handy like "they hate me because im {fill in the blank}". He never got into worse in school as even kids have standards and nobody wants to be the guy known for kicking the Tards head in and he was also self segregating for the most part and hung around safe locations i.e. ones with teachers or his galpals to reduce that risk even more.
Yeah, you ain't kidding. I mean, with a little knowledge of Deutsch this sentence from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is almost readable: "Ond þon ilcan geare worhte se foresprecena here geweorc be Liggean .xx. mila bufan Lundenbyrig." (AD 896) By contrast, Middle English is almost always readable (although you'll invariably fuck up the pronunciation).
Oddly enough working and and around old trades gives you a real education on old English, lot's of words and terms are still used from Old and Anglo-Saxon English.
