The Cargo Bike Affair



Lately,  I've really been getting into Cargo Bikes.  It's fair to say that in Australia they're a fairly rare commodity.  It's also true to say that these bikes are monopolized by found parents doing urban deliveries of their kids to preschool or school.  But, i feel that the design has wider appeal. 

I've also found it really hard to look beyond what the Climate Scientists are saying about the need for humans to make rapid and radical changes to their lifestyles in order to literally save the planet.  I already live of grid and work at my own small business where I earn enough to pay the bills with a little over.  But i can and want to do more,  i want to get out  of my car ...  and the cargo bike is regularly touted as the "car replacement" bike.  

I don't have anywhere near enough money to buy yet,  especially an electric version.  But that's the way I'm heading,  that and moving my gardening business towards electric tools including mower.
