That is one of the pluses. Additionally trailers suck in constrained
areas (bollards at trail entrances, splitting lanes, etc.). Personally
I don't care for the handling on the bakfiets, I'll take the Xtracycle
any day of the week instead.

Yeah, I'm not so sanguine about sales in the Seattle area. The one I've
ridden had a Stokemonkey, which of course made a huge difference. But
by then you're starting to talk real money.
Clevercycles in ****tland sells them (quite a few evidently), but then
****tland has large flat areas.
