    If ever I live in a city with adequate bike infrastructure and in an apartment with proper bike parking/storage, I’m immediately going to buy a cargo bike. They seem like so much fun to ride, and I’d love to push the limits of what one can carry by bike.

    I really have no need for a cargo bike though, to be honest. My front + rear racks with a cheap set of rear panniers and some bungie cords have rarely failed to meet my needs.

      I only started biking regularly a few years ago. I am shocked by how much a rear basket, panniers, and bungee cords can carry.

      I feel the same way, although my city had some of the worst traffic in the world, so I doubt we will ever get decent bike infrastructure.

      They painted some bike lanes, but what they did was just cut one of the car lanes in half, so the cars still drive in the bike lane.
