I want a cargo bike for obvious reasons but also so I don't have to buy a second car for the snowtime. I'm fine with suffering through the cold and muck but even with spikes the freeze-thaw mooncraters are simply not doable on 2 wheels.

Unless you buy something really expensive, i.e. "could buy and keep a beater car running for quite a while" money, so many of them are limited to 100kg on the seat. I get they're all unisize and there's quite the leverage on the seatpost going on due to this, but fucking 100kg MAX? That's well within "normal" BMI weight for tall people and not exactly terrible far off if you pack on a few pounds. or like want to use a backpack.

something like this, yeah

Ah I think I've seen one but they're probably not common cause they don't handle hills well

Urban arrows (and similar) are more common, but it sounds like you're not looking to splurge that hard lol

there's cheap long johns where I live but that doesn't really cover my "I need to drive this through the snow" need like a 3 wheeler would. It'd suck ass, still, but at least it's doable without me eating shit

Totally makes sense
