Cargo, for Three

I’m fascinated by cargo bikes.  Mind you, I don’t have one, and don’t want one, but I think they’re amazing vehicles.

This one has room for at least three people — four, probably, if the third and fourth are smallish.  There’s the child carrier on the back, the flat padded seat behind the cyclist, which can probably fit two children, and the cyclist himself/herself. Cargo goes in the basket, of course, but the padding can be removed, and stuff can also placed on the rack in back, when it’s not necessary to transport kids.

What I haven’t figured out is where New Yorkers store these monsters.  I’m often in Brooklyn, where it’s not uncommon to have small yards, but in Manhattan? Surely these giants aren’t being carted up flights of stairs for the night?  Or are they?
