man that's crazy. 1 150lb man petaling a dozen kids to and from school on a bike that weighs probably 300lbs empty. it's got to be hell on the back, and knees.
A lot depends on how flat the roads are. Having been the owner of a traditional heavyweight tricycle for just over four years now I can attest to their ability to haul large loads with ease so long as the terrain remains nice and flat. Mix in a hill and it becomes misery very quickly.
