Nice! That's a lot of accessories you've got there, it's definitely a work bike and not a recreation bike.
You don't need a cargo bike (those are expensive), consider a kid's bike trailer. They typically carry around 100lbs (45kgs?), which is plenty for larger trips (I've done some Costco runs w/ my bike trailer).
Thanks! Yeah it's a bit cluttered but it's a utility bike for me to run errands on weekend, can't really do without any of that stuff.
Where i from, i can't find a bike trailer nor cargo bike as there's virtually no demand here, cycling culture is terrible in Malaysia.
