Cargo bikes the new minivan for cycling families

In this photo taken Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013, Heidi Lappetito pedals her cargo bike past a parked beer truck as she hauls a trailer loaded with frozen salmon in Port Townsend, Wash.

People in the Pacific Northwest are pushing the limits of what they can carry using so-called cargo bikes, shuttling children, groceries, fish and kegs of beer. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)SEATTLE (AP) — One fisherman uses a bike to deliver hundreds of pounds of salmon to local markets.
