Oh great, how many cargo bikes would we need to carry a pallet of milk cartons to the local grocery store? How many would we need to replace one truckload?
Doesn't matter because you also need a refrigeration system to keep the milk from spoiling. Good luck putting that on a bike.
Someone got lucky https://www.kleuster.com/en/produits/refrigerated-cargo-bike/
OK, so to carry the same payload as one standard reefer trailer... we'll use the lightweight value of 49000 lbs (22226 kg)... we'll only need... 111 refrigerated cargo bikes.
Oh yeah, that's practical. That will definitely be a workable, scalable solution.
