I ride 90% of the time on paved trails; but I am planning a 80 mile gravel ride with the boys this summer.
I think the Ursus is a good idea for a cargo bike, but the
Pletscher is fine for everything else. I think that 'booties' are available for the Pletscher to give them a little more purchase on grass but I think they will be hard to find and maybe not worth the effort to locate. I wanted to like the Click-stand and I've corresponded with the guy that makes them but I'm pretty sure that a kickstand belongs on your chainstay or bottom bracket! Anywhere else and it just might not be there when you need it.
