We have horses and sheep. I need something that can haul a bale or 2 of hay and you can tie 50lb feed bags easily.
I can also use it to transport a kid to gymnastics practice six time a week (my daughter and son go on alternate days). I am really looking forward to one. I may not go carless but using less of it is my goal. These bikes are incredibly easy to handle. and just like a good diesel pickup, handles better when loaded.
