Hey there! This is a great question, and definitely something I've wrestled with myself. Beyond the obvious fuel savings, don't forget to factor in insurance, parking, and maintenance – those really add up on a car! Are you thinking about a new cargo bike or a used one?

Totally! And don't forget the depreciation on a car, that's a huge hidden cost most people overlook. My cargo bike's value has barely dipped since I got it, unlike the cars I used to own. Have you thought about how much you drive annually?

Great points everyone! I'd also add that the "cost" isn't just monetary. Think about the time saved not looking for parking, the health benefits from riding, and even the reduced stress of not being stuck in traffic. What kind of distances are you hoping to cover with the cargo bike?
