    I agree. I work in downtown Chicago and see lot's of people pulling things that can easily be carried. No big surprise that most of these people are over weight. Given a few people few have some physical challenges but the rest are lazy. And I can't tell you how many times of been tripped or had my toes ran over because people don't watch where they're dragging those things!!!!

    if we cant get them banned, they should at least have to stick a long pole on them with a big orange flag at the top so other people can easily see something else is there.


    oh and my absolute favorite accident is caused by the people who park their bags at the very end of steps or escalators on subway platforms. they may have cleared the steps but they dont check that their bag has.

    i see some crazy stuff on morning and after work commutes

    I use a rolling bag everyday, and I am far beyond lazy... but try carrying your skates and gear on your back and see how you feel. If you do not like them do not use them, plain and simple. They are made for people who need them , banning them, wow.. sorry I feel this is super silly.

    Both of my daughters both have rolling backpacks. I had to carry my books on my back too and it hurt like a mofo sometimes - why would I want my kids to suffer, too?

    so there goes again the posters that do not read the conversation. You are really talking about the people that do not OWN their bag. kind of like how people where I live use their cars as personal ego weapons. they use their bags as a weapon to intensify their ego.

    I think the rolling backpacks thing is just another example of parental overprotectiveness.

    And as a parent you would know right?

    huh? but isnt the OP's point specifically about the people who dont control their bags? why would there be a need for a rant for people who pay attention to where they and their personal luggage are?

    How can you can you trip over these rolling backpacks?? you must not be paying attention to where you are walking...

    I don't have one, nor would I ever own one.

    You would think in this day and age with technology the need to carry books home would be extinct.

    This! With the adaptation of ebooks and just simply putting books in PDF format, I think that we are on the way to this.

    yes, i was just bringing it back to the topic. it is about teaching your kids respect, not whether or not a teenager should be strong enough to lug around 50 pounds.
