I’m not a Trek fan, but many people are, and so it may be worth noting that Trek has a cargo bike called the Trek Transport.

I have a feeling the lack of depth mentioned by some of the comments here is owed to confined space in a printed magazine (you remember the things made from dead trees) rather than lack of interest or knowledge on Fin’s behalf. A double-page article can only appetize those who want more, not satisfy those who already know-it-all on the subject!

$4750 for the Joe Bike! The workcycles bakfiets cargo bike long is cheaper and better outfitted. Also, little was said about the benefits of transporting kids who are too big for child seats (Weeride, iBert, etc..) and too young for trailer bikes. Cargo bikes are the best choice!

I think you guys left out some good bikes that should have been reviewed instead of mentioned in passing in your cargo issue. Especially bikes with enclosed chain cases…A neat guide to buying a cargo bike appears on http://www.chicargobike@blogspot.com.

Also surprised to see Metro Pedal Power left out completely, especially since our Cargo bikes and pedal-trucks do distribution for Momentum magazine in Boston!

I was surprised to see Worksman Cycles mention in the article and left out of the list of links. Worksman still builds cargo bikes in a variety of formats.

Small correction: the Yuba Mundo isn’t a frame extension like the xtra, it’s a fully-integrated long-tail frame like the Big Dummy, Ute, or Trek Transport.
