If I were doing some sort of grubhub kind of thing in a dense urban area, it seems like a pretty solid concept: https://electrek.co/2019/05/20/review-velomini-scoot-t1-trailer-electric/

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
I'll definitely look into a trailer, this seems the best option. Certainly cheapest.
I think I'll go with one like this, at under 80 USD and able to just be used as a grocery cart

I'm looking into cargo bikes for urban areas so I can reduce my footprint.
Any suggestions?
Priority is ability to transport a few groceries, ease of lockup, and lack of ridiculous cost. I don't need electric or anything, but I do need it to be there when I get out of the store...

Always nice to see when someone designs a modern device with repairability and long life in mind:

Is this #SolarPunk? Not sure what 'repairable by design' tech is. Obviously, it should be commonplace but... it's not

Cyberpunk dystopia?
No thanks.
I like my sci-fi #SolarPunk flavored.

America's first sustainable urban agrihood in Detroit.
"The three-acre development has vacant land, along with occupied and abandoned homes centered around a two-acre urban garden, with more than 300 organic vegetable varieties, like lettuce, kale, and carrots, as well as a 200-tree fruit orchard, with apples, pears, plums, and cherries, a children’s sensory garden, and more."

"She still thought her future looked bleak," Murdoch said. "And I couldn't understand that. And she said, well, look at all the young adult books [that] are about dystopias. Look at the television shows. Look at the films. Everything about the future is dystopian."
No shit. We live in a dystopia under the heel of people who want to make it worse.
We have to imagine a better future so that we can fight for a better future.

Core #HopePunk / #SolarPunk concept right here.
I sure do miss Rodenberry.
