No, not in the design of the Carla Cargo products, but I know the guys from meeting them at various shows and the annual International Cargo Bike Festival.

Until a couple of years ago when I retired due to ill health I built cargo carrying bicycle frames, pedal power utility quad vans and trucks, pedal powered racing cars, sail trikes, pedal powered cultivation tool carriers for in side glasshouse use, down hill/gravity soapbox racer frames and I've even built some AZ Warrior trikes.

Crickey that is one serious project - well done for making it work.
