Recently, 4 wheeler luggage seems to be very popular. The interesting thing which K notices at train stations, is individuals dragging their 4 wheeler luggage on 2 wheels (as illustrated in the picture above - Blah for the horrible drawing) and I cant help wondering why had these people bought a 4 wheeler luggage in first place and how long their luggage will last.
I can empathize the poor luggage sellers when potential / ex luggage customers come dragging 4 wheeler luggage on the hinges.
(At the luggage department)
The umpteenth a.k.a 900th customer who comes dragging a 4 wheeler luggage on 2 wheels.
Exasperated Sales person ( After explaining 900 times to a 900th customer) : "Sorry Mdm, the luggage is designed to be used on 4 wheels. You should be using it on 4 wheels."
900th customer (Stubbornly): " Ai yah, if I use all 4 wheels, later all 4 spoil how? I use 2 wheels, if 2 of them spoil, I still can use the remaining 2 wheels."
Exasperated Sales person : " Well, if 2 out of the 4 wheels are damaged, u cant use it well. Or do u want to look at 2 wheelers instead? The wheels r bigger..."
Seriously n simply putting it, the mechanism of a 4 wheeler luggage is to that of the concept of weight, centre of gravity (g) of an object ; or the example of a car (4 wheels) n a motor cycle (2 wheels).
Like a car, 4 wheeler luggage has a much better centre of gravity than a 2 wheeler luggage. Whereas, a 2 wheeler works in a way of tilting(like a motorcycle) the luggage to get a better centre of gravity, so that the luggage can be pulled along more easily, hence bigger wheels(like a motorcycle, for better stability and managing friction.
Now, would u drive a car on 2 wheels? =p
