There are quite a few varieties, Blythe. Here are links to a few: http://surlybikes.com/bikes/big_dummyhttp://yubabikes.com/ http://www.dutchbikeseattle.com/ http://www.xtracycle.com/ That should get you started. If you continue along this path please keep us up to date on your progress.

I own the Sun Atlas, the cheaper version of the Big Dummy. I got it at MidCity Bikes for around $650. It's got the big rack and from xtracycle.com I ordered a hoodie for $75 which fits snugly over the rack and allows me to carry 4+ bags of groceries, and handle bars that attach to the seat post a la tandem bike. It's great, I love it. When my wife is feeling lazy or a friend is in from out of town they can sit on the back and be ferried anywhere I want to go. I have no need to drive to the grocer any more. 10/10 would recommend. http://www.sunbicycles.com/product_detail.php?short_code=Atlas+Cargo
