by Chris Cona from Ars Technica - All content on (#6WGEZ)
Are you a millennial parent who has made cycling your entire personality but have found it socially unacceptable to abandon your family for six hours on a Saturday? Or are you a bike-curious urban dweller who hasn't owned a bicycle since middle school? Do you stare at the gridlock on your commute, longing for a bike-based alternative, but curse the errands you need to run on the way home?
I have a solution for you: invest in a cargo bike.
Cargo bikes aren't for everyone, but they're great if you enjoy biking and occasionally need to haul more than a bag or basket can carry (including kids and pets).In this guide, we'll give you some parameters for your search-and provide some good talking points to get a spouse on board.
