But not everyone has the space to park a cargo bike;I wouldn't own mine if we didn't have a parking garage because it won't fit in our elevators without the front wheel removed.
Usually for big stuff i have a friend or family help me. In reality usualy i'm the one helping them, as i'm very handy and would rather build or re-purpose something on hand or smaller and manageable than buy new. When it comes to large stuff like packs of water, they fit in the milk crate one at a time, with the smaller open end facing down if need be. I only buy for myself, bulk items make no sense, as i all ready do one month's shopping in one trip.
I would love a trailer, though.
