I’m in a very car-centric city (Phoenix, AZ) but I use a cargo bike all the time, probably 90% of my local trips. I can’t count how many times someone in a car has done something to make my life a little easier, giving me a bit more space for example or waving me through so I don’t have to stop. There’s lots of bike hater stories out there, but it’s almost never been like that for me.
And on the other side, I let people know they have a tail/brake light out, all the time. Once you start noticing it, there’s a LOT of them.
















I have my end mirror under the handlebars, not above. My visibility is a lot better, rather than looking at my own elbow, and with it under the bar, it gets bumped a lot less.
