      I think you just missed the point entirely. You don’t actually have to load up as many items in a cargo bike, because it’s inherent advantages in urban contexts more than makes up for its inability to load up as many items.

          They are spelled out clearly in the video:

          • Bicycle deliveries can utilize bicycle infrastructure and not get stuck in traffic
          • Bicycle deliveries can at times navigate around traffic
          • Bicycle deliveries have an easier time parking at the point of delivery
          • Bicycle deliveries for obvious reasons require less fuel
          • Bicycle deliveries require less capital cost, as their vehicles are cheaper than their counterparts
