Basics
- This page aims to determine the towing capacity produced by the average person on an average bike
- May add other categories later
- Mainly used to determine the reasonable capacity of a non-dedicated cargo bike setup (ie a trailer etc)
- According to this 15km/hr seems like a reasonable "cruising speed" with a bit of variation
- May want real world data
- From Wikipedia: "Cargo tricycles can typically carry 100–300 kilograms" (also said human endurance/power is the main limit) (and 50 kg for bikes with basket only)
