As someone who commutes by bike regularly, transporters are one of the primary reasons for why it is so miserable.
They usually go 15km/h or even slower (presumably due to the extra weight and/or overprotective new parents), and they're so wide that they take up the whole lane, preventing you from overtaking them. And since we usually have grade-separated bike lanes here (supposedly the holy grail, according to HN!) you can't even spill into the car lane temporarily.

Another example from Copenhagen: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Dronning_Louises_Bro_2012.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Dronning... You can easily ride 3 bikes next to each other (and also four if you want). A single slow transporter won't block the traffic on wide lanes like this.
