If you have to move kids around with all their stuff (chart + luggage) then
bicycles don't cut it and you are a bad burden to public transport if you even
try.

My family was in the low-income end back in the day and they had no car at all.
They had to buy a cheap used car just to move my stuff when I was born.

I think they are just not allowing you into a bus here if you carry too much
stuff with you. If you bring anything like a bicycle, a cart or any other
"bulky" item you have to pay a ticket for it in intercity buses. Urban bus
drivers may look the other way if you bring three tonnes of luggage with you
and the bus is not too full, but official regulation in Madrid is bicycles are
not allowed unless they can be folded (I have yet to see foldable bicycles used
in the wild). There are also restrictions regarding carts for kids and I am
reading some complaints from Parent's Asociations regarding the fact they
cannot use public transport with their families for this reason.
