Can I afford a cargo bike?

Over the last years, cargo bikes are becoming more popular. They can be used to carry groceries, children or even a piano. A person who has not had a cargo bike previously can think “I want it, but can not have it”. The main problem is where will be saved this bike as they are larger than traditional bicycles. This can constitute a prejudice since a car or a motorbike is also large, but people usually find a place for them. If you have two cars, get rid of one of them and now you have space for the cargo bike. Additionally, cities should modify the urban design to incorporate more spaces for bicycles (including cargo bikes) and people, and take it off to cars. For instance, if living blocks will be obliged to dedicate a space within the buildings for them, bikers will have a specific space for their bikes. Again, councils can build public bike parking that has been demonstrated effectiveness in other cities.
