The longest distance would be around 15 miles (luckily the only client I see on that day) most of the rest are more in the 5 - 8 mile range.
I would love to do a bakfiets or flat bed, but it would be very spendy for me.
As far as the cool down issue....yeah, heat...Texas...maybe not viable for the summer. I've been toying with the idea of building a custom electric push trailer to take some of the load (and eliminating some of the sweat). If I do build a trailer, it'll probably be wide enough to lay the table on it's side (probably OK as long as I'm not commuting on the MUP)
As far a promoting a healthy lifestyle, it'd be awesome to roll into a health fair on the bike and set up a table and/or chair. Not too bad for advertising as well...
Y'all seem to be the most enthusiastic about the Xtracycle option...
Are the kits very hard to install?
