> Check out the style of bike called a bakfiets (or any other cargo bike) it's a game changer. I have carried my wife and groceries a couple of times, and also picked up lumber and tools with it.

Okay, I did. What is your definition of lumber? The bikes I saw would only be suitable for what I would consider "small sticks".



the lumber load was something like:

- 6 2x4x12, strapped diagonally lengthwise on the top of the bin

- big box of nails

- air framing nailer

- extension and air cords

- pancake air compressor

- other assorted stuff


Have a link to the bin? All the bins I've seen don't look suitable for long lumber or are expensive enough where renting a truck is by far the cheaper route.
