When I was in Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula) I saw many of these tricycletas. They were used for personal transport (I saw an OLD guy biking and his wife was sitting on a chair in the basket), commerce, and hauling. Now, it's flat there, but I wonder if this sort of thing would work better/worse than a bike with a trailer.

Well I did a little research and this is what I found.<br />
<br />
A person could bike about 912 miles on a gallon of gas and a gallon of gas has about 31,000 calories. Since people can't drink gas that would not work very well, however, 1 cup of kidney beans contains about 224.79 calories so a person can bike about 6.61 miles per 1 cup of kidney beans. Not sure how accurate that is but it sounds interesting...<br />

I've been looking into building a bike trailer recently so I would definitely be interested in…
