If only Trek or Mongoose or even Schwinn or Huffey were to produce a longtail cargo bike! Granted nobody here would buy such a thing, but still, it would open up options for lots of people.

Sorry, my mistake. I had looked at the XAccess/Worldbike site a while ago and had not seen any recent activity. I also probably typed something wrong on the search terms when I looked for references to Ritchey’s project on your site.

P.S. http://practicalaction.org/docs/technical_information_service/bicycles.pdf is worth a look too (in spite of the URL, it’s HTML not a PDF, PDF with more pictures is attached to that link).
