In Copenhagen, Denmark, these are used all over the city to, well, deliver cargo.
Then, annually they have a fun cargo-bike race called "Svajerløb" [0]
The event is based on traditional races that took place between the 1930s and 1960s. In the race, riders typically complete four laps - the first lap ridden with an empty cargo bike, then stopping to load up their bikes with cargo before completing three more laps with the full load. [1]
It's super fun.

- spinarrets 1y agoAre there many of this configuration? (Load in the back as a tricycle). I see lots of good cargo bikes (and I LOVE cargo bikes), just not many of this design. But facebook doesn't let me browse much without an account.
- INTPenis 1y agoI'm across the strait in Malmö and it's very rare to find the cargo in the back. Mostly senior citizens ride a variant of this bike with two wheels in the back, a small pannier. Maybe because it suits their balance better. But recently a coffee bike has been turning up here in Malmö with a classic 50s design just like the Cycleauto one, but the wheel is not mounted under the rider. https://gastro-bike.com/en/coffee-bike/ https://gastro-bike.com/en/coffee-bike/ This is not it but it's close. The one we have here is more of a rounded 50s design on the carriage. I don't have any pics.
