My new ride - Trek Transport
I usually post in other areas of the forum, but this seemed like it belonged here. I picked my new bike up from the shop this afternoon. It's a Trek Transport.
I have only ridden a few miles and none with any loads, but my first impressions are that it rides mostly like a normal bike. I sit more upright than I do on any other bike that I own, but it went where I steered and felt familiar. When I was researching cargo bikes I didn't find as much (in terms of reviews) on the bike as I expected so I plan on doing a review when I get a chance to really use it.

I was planning on riding to the shop and then strapping my bike to one of the fold down racks and riding back with a bike in tow. My wife talked me out of it, but when I got home I tried it just to see. It would have easily been doable with just a single toe strap to stabilize the front wheel to the downtube and hold it to the rack. It's that kind of versatility that excites me. I can ride to Lowe's, or the grocery store, or wherever.
