Hi Guys,
Every now and then I entertain the idea of getting a front loading cargo bike like the R&M Load to perhaps replace by R&M Supercharger 2
I'd be really interested in the experience of anyone who has gone to something like that and if they've had any regrets etc.
A few things (in no particular order) that I wonder about:
Perhaps the key question for people who have a Load etc: would you go back to a non cargo bike now?
Cheers
Sam

A few things (in no particular order) that I wonder about:
- Storage - much harder to fit into garages if there is limited space
- Length - just the ability to get around in tight spaces for parking or navigating traffic
- Traffic - likely could not slip up the side of traffic that is not moving at traffic lights etc as the bike is much wider
- Wind - dealing with head/side winds and impact
- Servicing - when it breaks down, major punctures etc, the ability to transport it for repair must be a real pain.
- Frequency of using the storage - could become car replacement of course, but wonder if people feel like they're really using them to max capacity (my kids are too old / think they're too cool to ride in one now)
Perhaps the key question for people who have a Load etc: would you go back to a non cargo bike now?
Cheers
