Couple Hauls Freight- By Bike

Well here's a new one. You've heard of bicycle messengers and bicyle commuters, but how about bicycle freight deliveries? That's what one couple are doing in downtown Portland, OR in an effort to reduce the amount of trucks on the road. Here's the story on the freight-hauling bicycling couple.

What's your opinion? Is this a good idea or not time and cost effective?
