Yeah you’d want it on a trailer or side bags. Maybe a handlebar box. It’s definitely doable. I saw multiple bikes tonight that could do it at the shop I contribute at.

I see them around here (Germany) and they seem quite practical, although ones with 3 or more wheels are most popular here. Especially for such heavy loads.

Not a custom job so there must be demand for it, therefore it must be practical somewhere.

For me, personally, I prefer pulling a cart instead of pushing with all the weight on your handlebars\turning.

Downvoted by delusional people who don’t live in the real world.

I get that they want bikes to be the solution to everything but stick a heavy toolbox on a bike and ride uphill, in the rain, after a heavy day working. Sure it’s fine for someone doing local runs on an open schedule with small loads but for most people that’s not how life works.

I hate driving, love bikes and agree we need to transition to better transport systems but pushing absolutely absurd non-answers is just going to make everyone laugh at the idea and dismiss it as stupid. We’ve had the same issue in the green movement so many times, anyone old enough in the uk will remember when we had an green party with an amazing platform pushing investment in solar, localisation, cycling infrastructure, and loads of good stuff then instead of talking about it every time they got platformed they talked about yogic flying and healing energy. Even my mum a total woo loving hippy was angry at them about that.

Something else they forget is that not everyone can cycle, i used to cycle all over the place until my knee injury and while even at my peek I never would have been able to get that heavy load up the hill on the way back from my local garden center I can only just do it now on a lightweight bike after years of strength rebuilding.

If you want meaningful change you need to be sensible about it so other people know you can be trusted.

(And yes I understand the yogic flying was coming from an actually sensible place when you get down to it, I was a child enrolled in similar mind and body fitness programs based on the same idealism but every time it was mentioned they’d talk about superpowers instead if saying ‘obviously it’s just exercise and breathing with mental clarity exercises combined, we think this is missing from most peoples lives and wish to enable access and understanding but recognize its only a small step in transitioning to an ecologically, emotionally and aocially suatainable way of life, which is our primary goal.’
