Something I forgot to mention. I care about the environment as I'm sure many on this forum do. When I'm asked by curious folks about what this type of bike is and why I got it, this is my narrative: it doesn't make sense for a 120lb woman/200lb man to drive a 2.5 ton gas-burning death-machine (e.g. SUV) 5 miles to pick up 50lb of groceries.

When I explain my rationale to them that way, everyone gets it.

They are indeed, Cuz!!!

Welcome from Canada (Toronto). Love the dialogue underway.

For the others, I, too, have a cargo-bike (Bullitt) just like Edward's. I love riding it. I get all of my groceries and more with it perhaps covering some 3 - 5 miles each day.

Off to a local cargo-bike rally tomorrow near downtown, roughly a 8 mile ride. No sweat on the Bullitt!!!

Here's my ride:

Don't forget depreciation of the car as a cost item. It's significant!!!
