I think the Bakfiest is a good idea but less practical than other options. There is much more flexibility with a bike & bike trailer combination than with a dedicated cargo bike. If you have a need to regularly haul 100+, unwieldy pounds, then by all means, get a dedicated cargo bike. Otherwise, a trailer is more efficient (less energy to move) and better able to handle hills if hooked to an appropriately geared bike.
