We are always excited to see more Cargo bikes in the market, we checked out Madsen bikes (thanks to GHD for the heads up) and these bikes are quite interesting.
Unlike the Yuba/Ute/Xtracycle, the Madsen features a 20″ tire in the back. This configuration makes the bike more stable under heavy loads (up to 600 lbs!!!!) due to the lower center of gravity.
They currently offer two models, one with the rack and the other with a plastic tub. Cool thing about the tub is that you can comfortably fit 2 kids inside of it.
The complete bikes will retail at around $1,300, not a bad investment if you are considering ditching the car altogether.
