You put a box in the front for cargo/children. Look up 'bakfiets'.

I don't know what I find most scary.. the idea of trying to steer a roundabout whilst in full aero or trying to stop.

So when you pull out of a side road you can't see properly out of your kid screams and gets wiped out...

Hmmm

Cargo in shape of carrier bags that hook onto those bull horns? 😉

Think of it as an opportunity to teach your kids road safety.

Express deliveries by bike.

I saw a woman riding an electric one in Edinburgh one day, with two kids in a box on the front.
I pointed it out to the passengers on my bus.
Every single one of them commented that they thought it was brilliant.

Hence the tri-bars 😉

Really, there are almost no junctions where you can't see either way before pulling out with a Long John configuration like this. It's shorter than the bonnet of many cars.

Deliveroo's wet dream. We'll benefit from this by our food being quicker and therefore hotter

Unless you're the very last of the 200 deliveries the cargo basket can hold...

Yeah but it's a bike OK so it's different because.
Love the logic fails some days, I assume most people can't ever leave their street due to poor visibility.

You'd have thought they would have made an integrated basket/box/kids seat. Wouldn't want joe public ruining the aero profile...

cargo bikes are brilliant. though putting 28mm roadie tyres on them somewhat ruins the utility.
