My bike and my cargo trailer are it for me.
Totally agree. I live in the Dallas area now and hardly see people using bikes to run errands. Lots or road cycling, mountain biking or the beach cruisers around the park. But when it comes to getting the groceries or commuting people are taking their cars. I still have cars but I try do a lot by bike.

My main concern would be brakes. 100lbs and no brakes is already pushing it. This is why I like the idea of the Carla Cargo having surge brakes. Pretty neat idea which of course has its price.
