This is a great idea. Will the space used by the shelter will be paid by the bike's owners at the same price a car driver pays when he parks his car in the city?

@Missy Mookins, it's sensible to expect that some would be annoyed with the cargo bikes. The bikelanes are, in places, only wide enough to accomodate one of these, with no chance of overtaking. Also, they are commonly among the slowest bike on the lane. (not unlike an SUV in a city of narrow streets).

Considering that a lot people, everywhere in the world, are idiots, it's surprising that no more than two percent find them irritating.

@Raymonster: A new Sorte Jernhest (with no accessories) sell for 12000 DKR. The oldest resale on DBA.dk is from 2002, and is on sale for 8500.
Considering you'd want it shipped, I'd recommend you spring 50% extra, and get a bike that's not so worn down. (considering a 66% depreciation over 7 years, a 14 year old bike would cost you 5.000, which is still a lot. Better to score the resale value from a new vehicle)

great, thanks michael!

Awesome, but I would rather not have more of these metallic monsters (i.e. cars) see in the streets -- even if they are used for cargo bike parking ;-).

"Interestingly, only 2% of Copenhagen cyclists find cargo bikes irritating."

Huh??? Did you think it would be more? Do Copenhageners generally find cargo bikes irritating?
As someone who is desperately trying to convince her husband that "no, I don't need a new car, I just need a £2000 bike" the thought that I might be irritating to laid back, socially progressive Copenhagen folks is slightly worrying ;)

that's a realy good idea and you are lucky to have a realy active town hall (i don't realy know how to say in english) and it's a very good way to show to cars how much space they stole us in cities...

Mikael,

Do you have a source for all the figures in your report? I have to make a presentation next week on the future of the tricycles industry next week.

Thanks,

Andrea
