Manuel Cappel has long built sturdy cargo bikes and trailers from recycled materials in his Toronto Island workshop for islanders. Manuel uses used bikes but new components to create strong bikes that can carry heavy loads. The bikes are cheaper than newer bikes with a price of about $2000 for a built bike (powdercoating extra). Give Manuel a call to arrange a visit to his shop to discuss requirements. It takes him about a month and a half to build.
