speaking of high winds, we lost 2 6foot x 6foot fence panels last night. B&Q is only 3 miles up the road and my only way of collecting them is on the cargo bike, should be interesting!

Interesting. As a relative newcomer to cargo bike riding I was concerned about sidewind, however I've hd more grief from headwind. I find if I'm loaded up & not too light the mass seems to cancel out the sideways movement.
My next cargo-box (only just built this one so don't hold your breath) will be a bit more aerodynamic

Yesterday reminded me of the perils of riding a cargo bike with a huge box on the front in high winds. Nearly got blown into traffic on more than one occasion. I absolutely refused to ride any of our cargo trikes that already feel like they're going to topple over if you go round a bend to fast.
