anybody got any good ideas for a cargo bike? cost isn't necessarily a huge limiting factor. wcw is looking for a bike to allow for portable workshops multiple days a week around campus beginnign next semester. really the biggest thing we need to carry is a folding workstand. any thoughts??

aside from what you can make, or assemble from existing spare parts (we have plenty of welders in our circle), and aside from reconditioning that orange Worksman flatbed that I'm assuming WCW still has in its possession, here's a few sites you may want to check out:

Wow, $1700 on the Joe Bike bakfiets is a pretty damn good deal. That's the cheapest price I've seen for one of those by far.

They don't skimp on the components, either.
