I don’t have kids, but this looks like an awesome way to raise them.

    Hopefully a healthy used market develops over the next few years as children grow out of their child-haulers. They seem awesome, but for people not lucky enough to live in a place where they truly enable owning fewer cars, the cost is still squarely in “luxury goods” territory. As it stands today, it’s hard to justify a $4000 bakfiets against a $250 trailer, especially when a removable trailer lets you keep using your bike as a regular bike too.

      I dunno how that’s going to pan out. My kids pedal themselves around now but the cargo bike is way too useful to give up. It’s the best bike I will ever own in my life.

      It’s like minivans. The kids are in college but you’re so used to being able to carry everyone and everything all at once that you can’t downsize.
