A cargo bike with a low price and pedals so low they scrape the ground

Enlarge / The CycWagon. (credit: John Timmer) More so than most other forms of bicycle, cargo bikes are specifically designed to make ditching a car easier. Whether hauling groceries or kids, they can handle a lot more of the day-to-day errand running than most other forms of two-wheeled transport. The problem with some of the higher-end cargo bikes is that the upfront costs can be competitive with a decent used car (although operating costs will be dramatically lower) without offering quite the flexibility that a car might. Fortunately, as Beth Mole discovered, you don't necessarily have to spend that much to get a decent riding experience, putting cars at a further disadvantage.
