I’m generally a fan. I see a lot more people biking around my suburban sprawling American city, and I’ve noticed the majority now are ebikes. Probably half of those are cargo bikes, so they really seem to be enabling more trips outside a car, and that’s pretty great.

Out of curiosity, what form of cargo bike are you seeing? Regular-ish bike with racks, or something more exotic like an Urban Arrow?
