Cargo Bikes

Same situation for me kinda, if I didn't live upstairs or I had a huge lift that would take it I'd buy an urban arrow or something within seconds.

I already have the mega-haulage donkey bike, with associated trailer, but these are just so much more elegant. Plus I like to think I would be able to cycle any children of mine around the quaint little town I end up living in...

I keep getting chances to ride huge ones but then end up handing back the keys after(most are e-assited too). This one is the biggest on 2 wheels I've done so far an urban arrow cargo xxl with full case and everything. Was bliss to ride.

I really hope there was something exciting hiding in the box...?

A huge amount of urban arrow junk for the bike show stand and most of the stand from what I could tell, seemed to have a setup ready for a stand much bigger and then just had a corner by the test track. I got the all clear from urban arrow to ride the huge one after they had seen me riding the 2 smaller ones being way more relaxed than just about everyone who went near them that weekend lol

2/3rds of what I paid (which has presumably gone up by around 20% since then, thanks Brexit) would be around £1550; forumenger discount would be £1450? Not cheap I know, but it is an awesome load-lugging (in my case, twins and shopping) beast...

New daily. Omnium mini-max, stock Shimano spec but with hand-build Halo / DT Swiss on Hope Pro4 RS.
Still need to sort out a few details but I'm really happy so far.

Testing out new bag made by my mate, handles a 100kg coffee run quite well

Ved jeg hvem du er?
Har jeg spurgt om det før?

Min ven, I don't think we have (I moved last year with - now ex -work). I'm sure we have acquaintances in common though.
I might try and start a LFGSSCBCPH soon, there's a handful of us around, no?

Is it sitting on innertubes "rack"? Is there something to stiffen the bottom?

Yep sitting on innertubes and the bag has strap underneath to hold it to the rack

A much smaller version for civilian use could be an option...

Perhaps your definition of quite well is not the same as everyone else...

The centre of gravity looks way too high for it to be rideable around say a roundabout above 10mph.

I know you haz mad skills, but please don't die 4 coffee

Advice from someone who needs electric assist to carry a few bottles of win :p

This was plenty stable, only the one box isn't sitting directly on the rack

Anyone has found a large box to put in front of the Bullitt? Something more cheap to buy instead their one on the site larryvsharry

@ShadeBoyy
Just find a plastic cargo crate somewhere and lock it down with ratchet straps, this one was found in a loading bay but you can probably getting something cheapish from somewhere like here http://www.solentplastics.co.uk/ if you can't find one for free.

They have the fork in the way at the front that limits how long the box can be though right?

yep, when this box is used on a bullitt it has to sit sideways.

Just seen this one in Hasselt no idea what the box is, I'll walk over and hope it's not moved.

Try IKEA storage boxes. Something like this .
Probably not the most sturdy, but should work.

Gamma-Wopla make all sorts of sturdy plastic cargo boxes... Found mine in a skip though. It makes contents rattle however so I'm looking at making a "bed" out of paracord or perhaps webbing. Any tips/ideas from Omnium owners?

The Bullitts I use for work all have metal boxes on the front rather than bags. What's the advantage of the bag? Mostly weight?

All companies love boxes for 'security' but not having one is best for awkward/variable sized/overly long or wide deliveries. plus it nice not having the aerodynamics of a brick.

In work we have a couple of the boxes that look exactly like I've seen on the front of a lot of Bullits for keeping tools in.

I bet you can find the exact same box for a lot less if you just don't go thru LvH.

I can't remember the branding that's on ours and I'm in the middle of a week off I'm afraid.
