I think you should cover the back over, in case it rains.

And maybe add a row of seats so you can take friends/family. Mass transport is more efficient, remember.

Oh, and make the wheels bigger, we all know how dangerous potholes can be for cyclists.

There you go.
Sadly all of those still get stuck in traffic.

I think it needs more propellers though.
 
and if the city is anything less than completely flat, you need to be an Olympic standard athlete to pedal them any substantial distance - which is one reason why you never see them in Sheffield, a city where the altitude varies between 100 and 1,000 feet above sea level, and where the only flat land is on top of some people's heads
They sell and you are advised to buy electric assist cargo bikes.

Since we're already at something comically big for a bike path, unworkable on a sidewalk, extremely dangerous on a road, and unusable whenever it's cold or hot or raining or snowing, and doing so with an electric motor that probably doesn't have great range, here is a sample price for a used Nissan Leaf:

You could buy two of them and have enough leftover for a burger combo. And not get rain on you and your kids.

The prices for cargo bikes price out basically everyone that isn't filthy rich. Which is crazy because cargo bikes used to be for the super poor, like, bakfiets and the chinese trikes were literally for farmers.

When I was younger and cycled more there were times I really wanted a cargo bike but it costs more than every car I've ever bought, combined.

And not only that but you're spending all that money to ride around in something that for the past twenty years or so was used by bums to pick up cans.
 
Around these parts the bums use stolen baby trailers like these

Sometimes theres a crackwhore in there.

Other times they'll modify one to make it stronger and steal a ladder and then start an eavestrough cleaning business. Truly net zero entrepreneurs 🫡

The past 3 decades of western civilization is just the ultra rich taking poverty indicators, slapping fresh paint on them, and then selling them to yuppies for a 100x markup.
 
I don't get why urbanists are so obsessed with the idea of cycling to the grocery store anyways. Even with a cargo bike you are not able to get in enough groceries to feed a household that has more than 1 child. Also the netherlands has like 9 billion different supermarkets and all of them have their own pros and cons which you tend to account for by just getting certain groceries from certain stores and driving to like 3 stores for a full grocery trip. At least that is what my mom did (I personally just get everything from the nearest Albert Heijn because I'm lazy). That'd be absolutely impossible to do on a bike.
I did go to the grocery with my bike... when I was a student. And only for a short period of time because I found a cheaper store at walking distance + there was an association that provided a basket of unsold fruits and vegetables for very cheap.
Which confort me in thinking these so-called urbanist just want eternal middle class youth student life, because I also don't hear them a lot about helping programs & communities either I'm truly grateful to them.
 
Cargo bikers are the final form of cyclist. Cargo bikes are insanely expensive, too slow for the street and too big for sidewalks, they're worthless at transporting anything of real value and are just a sort of symbol to show people you're a progressive bellend
It's not just that. There's a lot of talk on this thread pointing out that no one uses a cargo bike, it's just a cheap argument when someone brings up what a car can do and a regular bicycle cannot (it's never their own cargo bike, it's always just a stock picture). The bigger issue with cargo bikes is that their own view of things exclude cargo bikes. Remember, they pride themselves on how little space a bicycle takes to store versus a car. If they found a situation where a cargo bike took up extra space in bike parking space they'd go apeshit.

Plus, we already see that despite hating the idea of any vehicles going through their precious cities, they HATE the UPS cargo bikes going through bike lanes, despite claiming that's what they wanted to see more of.

fucking Nora, that's more than three times what I paid for my last car - and it's equivalent to nearly 18 months' worth of payments on my mortgage!
 
Imagine doing so much steroids you have no neck and the only muscle you have is in your thighs, all so you have to ride around in circles or behind a car so you can pretend you are a moped. Pathetic eurocuckery of a sport.
It's objectively cooler than most other sports of it's kind and it's an enjoyable way to get exercise.

Swimming also qualifies and doesn't make you look/act like a douche in public.

A Speedo and cap like the pros wear are more embarrassing-looking, sure, but you aren't walking around the streets like that.

(Disclosure: I go swimming recreationally once or twice a year. Am not a competitive swimmer, but I know how to swim)

I dunno, maybe it's just netherlands but I find sports cyclists far less annoying to deal with than commuter cyclists.
