The common aspect is that both the Netherlands and Denmark are flat. The danish/Dutch trikes are really just unsafe when you pick up significant speed like down a hill. I am a long time cyclist, who raced for years. I've never felt as unsafe on a bike as when I tried riding and a fast bike speed on a Christiania.

Luckily cargo bikes aren't for speeding and racing but for carrying cargo. It would be like using a truck to race instead of a mid-engine super light sports car.

Durch cargo trikes are generally assumed safer than their two-wheeled alternatives here.

It's not racing, but if there's a steep hill you will pick up some speed (it doesn't help that Christiania uses drum brakes not disk brakes). Also the whole point of a bike is that it's faster to go around than walk. Don't get me wrong I'm all in on cargo bikes and I used a cargo bikes for my kids in a hilly area for years (it was a leaning trike see my other post for what kind it was), but the trikes with the joint in the middle are just unsafe (yes I've also seen people tip over with them, and it really only requires a sharp turn where you have to accelerate a bit).

You mean like this DAF Turbo Twin overtaking a 405t16 in the Paris-Dakar? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AWCNnlk8rkU

Before rolling over and killing and maiming the people on board, which is actually a good example of what would happen if one tried to race a racing bike with a Christiana-like cargo bike.
