  • Cargo Bikes

    Found this and thought it was worth considering. The idea is to take a standard bike or a custom bike and extend the wheel base to accomodate cargo platforms.

    The Surly Big Dummy is the long-tail cargo bike described as the ultimate grocery getter, the modern day mini-van, and a human-powered car replacement.




    Here is another version.
    Every day bikes for everyday people. Xtracycle is the original inventor of the modern electric family cargo utility bike.

      I imagine it is not really a dirt bike style bike but slow and steady biking.

        But how is it better than a bike with one of those kid trailers or a 3 wheel rickshaw bike?

                IMO, a trailer can become unstable and tip, also, with 3 wheeled bikes and trailers alike, the width of them may become a hinderance to path of travel.
