what would be the right forum to discuss cargo bikes? I am contemplating buying one later this summer/early autumn and would like to hear first hand experiences from someone who has ridden one in the winter season.

Do a search on extracycle... looks very cool and there are lots of pics of people hauling everything you can imagine.
Here's the website - no I don't have one or work for them. I just want one.

Would this count as a Townie? No fenders, but its got a chainguard and I ride it around town. SS as well, with only a front brake.

I have a Carradice Barley, and I love it to no end. It holds everything you need for a day trip (tools, tubes, a rain slicker, a sandwich, etc.), with room to spare. It is also impressively waterproof. Calhoun Cycle has them for a good price, and they are nice folks.
