If you’re prepared to invest in a cargo bike (E- or otherwise) then you already have the correct mindset, and then using the C-bike just reinforces that reasoning. The problem is the huge gulf between those that consider them an option, and those who cling to the car as the only solution.  
So the key puzzle we need to solve is how do we bridge that gulf? Information, logic, and reasoning seem to lose every debate when pitted against the usual [FUD](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt), especially with Dunedin drivers!
