Cargo Bikes

Ha, thought it was a recumbent at first.

ha, it has a way to go, will need to fabricate the front box that doubles as the handlebar. think it will be able to carry some hefty loads.

needs dura ace di2+ hydro brakes

Handbrake is cool..

If you need someone to make the steel bits for the front let me know.

thanks max, i maybe in touch. i am drawing up plans for the front at the moment.

Really nice. Would love to hold hold the traffic up on that. You could do full house moves with it.

@luckyskull That's amazing! Needs a CP thread.

never noticed this thread before. Here's a photo on a bike that doesn't belong to me but i seem to do shit loads of miles on

Nice.

Cherwell Boathouse?

yes, the bike is on oxford at the moment. soon to be on its way to London.

CP thread and full house moves both on the cards. The cargo bike or "Bakfiets" is dutch, 1930s-50's. Possibly made by Gazelle.

Whole load of other Bakfiets on below links.

Hey all you Cargo bike freaks Mike Burrows designer of the 8 Freight is talking tonight at Bikefix in Lambs Conduit St from 6:00 more details here http://bikefix.co.uk/latest

I am planning on going then to the Calthorpe on Grays in Road for supper

Will his ego fit into a shop of that size?

'withered_preacher I am not sure what you base that comment on, I have met Mike on a number of occasions and he has always been inspiring with no pretentiousness.

You may have missed some irony somewhere. Mike's British, you know. :)

Hm, two different takes up there.
He's the world's greatest bike designer y'know.

No, he's the world's only bike designer.

Looks like a bit of a bargain of a Christiania on Gumtree at the moment. Painted up rather brightly for cake sales but easy enough to de-cake I would imagine. Looks hardly used, one of the newer ones, £600 but would consider offers!

Cross-post:

The work bike! I'm delivering (terribly) around central most days, say hi!

That's a comparatively quick release box BTW. More pics if people are interested.

Constant wheelie?
