Cargo bike

A cargo bike is a type of bicycle that is designed to help you carry things around. It is like a regular bike, but it has a big, sturdy box on the front or back that you can put stuff in. This box is also called a cargo area or a cargo hold.

Picture a big basket or box attached to your bike! It's helpful for grocery trips or even transporting small furniture. You can put almost anything in it that you would normally carry in a car, but you'll need to pedal the bike to get it where you're going.

Cargo bikes are used by people all over the world to do things like deliver goods, transport kids, or even move furniture. They are often used in cities where there is a lot of traffic and it's hard to park a car. They are also used by people who want to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle by not using cars as much.

Just like other bikes, you can ride a cargo bike on bike lanes and roads. It's important to wear a helmet and follow the same safety rules as when riding a regular bike. With a cargo bike, you can carry heavy loads and still get the exercise you need to stay healthy.
