frank9755,
That might be me on our Douze?! :) We have a white Douze with step-through frame, canopy and Alfine 8. I love riding it, but best of all our nipper likes going in it which was the point in buying it.
kboy,
Posted a couple of comments on the Cargo Bike thread, just search "Cargo" and it'll come up top of the search.It handles a lot better than the Bullitt which scared the shit out of my wife as it's a lot more twitchy. I was gutted as I really wanted a Bullitt as it's more stretched and its position is like a 90s mountain bike. The Douze has cable steering which works really well and enables you to do really tight manoeuvres through traffic whereas other cargo bikes will come unstuck due to track rod limiting the lock. But I have also found it really useful when parking the bike and fitting it in the garage.
It's got a double seat for kids with harnesses and the canopy is really well made too. Downside is cost as it costs a few hundred more than the Bullitt, but my wife will ride it happily which is essential.
Let me know if you want to test ride it...
Ta!
Tim

Spotted a Bullitt in Ealing on a couple of mornings last week, riding down Sutherland Road / Sutherland Avenue, with an enclosed canopy. Looks good and goes like it rides well.
Also DHL seem to be using them for cargo bikes in town.
