    My Abound came equipped with an optional bamboo board and handrail for the rear rack, which allowed me to take our friends’ small son — who is always eager to join in on any fun there is to be had — on a ride around the neighborhood. Since they live only a few doors down, this rapidly became a routine, and this helped me realize that cargo bikes are excellent options for folks who need to bring little ones with them on their trips.

    Is that legal? Here in NM it is illegal to have anyone on a bike without there being a specific seat for them.

    And something i never see any of these articles address is transporting dogs.

      This is how I sometimes take my dog on my bike for short trips:

      But the best way to transport dogs is using a trailer. That tub takes the place of the rear seat; so to transport kids and the dog at the same time I’d need a trailer.
