Riding a long john cargo bike is much nicer than riding a bike with a trailer. Cargo bikes ride almost like a normal bike, it's easier to navigate narrow passages, and parking your cargo bike is easier than parking a bike with trailer. I can walk my cargo bike through doors on my own, it is almost impossible when riding a bike with a trailer.
It takes me 3x as long to get the trailer outside, attach it to my bike, seat the kids etc. than it does with my cargo bike.
Trailer does have bigger capacity, so it is nicer for extended trips. But for everyday riding, a cargo bike is 100x better.
- rambambram 3y agoTrue, but the article is explicitly talking about having one bicycle and another cargobike as extra. Not everybody has the money for that, or needs a cargobike everyday of the week. I for one wouldn't move kids in a bicycle trailer, so a cargobike for kids is better.
