Cargo Bikes

That makes sense. I quite often end up riding with bigger bits strapped to the top of the box. Not ideal when you have to peer round the side because you can't see over the top.

You can see thru cardboard? Or are you very tall?
(Not being sarcastic, I love the picture and bike etc...)

I'm searching for a similar box like the one on their site that doesn't cost 45 euro!
It's pretty expensive

We do all the food/coffee runs for Velo Domestique on our Omnium Mini Max and we got an aluminium army surplus field kitchen box which is lockable if we need to do more than one pick up and leave the bike outside. For general haulage, plastic brown/orange bakery trays are perfect/free.

We might be talking at cross purposes then, the box I'm thinking about is like this,

and would, I'd imagine, cost a hell of a lot more than 45euro.

So, I looked on the LvH site and I see you're talking about the plastic one.

The description says it's a cement mixing box, 'cement tub' on ebay threw up this, as the first result.

I'm sure you could shop around some builders merchants and find it cheaper or ahem, a quiet building site at night ;)

I'm short as fuck. Got a good technique where I stack everything to one side to slightly improve visibility and hope for the best.

has anyone seen this, not strictly a cargo bike, but looks really interesting for those who don't have the space for a cargo bike. RRP of $1260 is bonkers though, and the cheap as chips early bird option has flown...

I'm riding this for work today. It's getting electric assist soon, I can't wait because it's absolutely destroying my knees trying to get it up hills.

That's ridiculous, even with only a slight breeze it must be a bitch to move.

Oh nice find thank you!

Get a engine on this and you can do motor-pacing someone on the back ahah

Yep! Leeds is windy as fuck as well. Well handy for moving big bits that don't fit in the Bullitt very slightly faster than walking pace though.

Good on you for even attempting those loads, but please don't sacrifice your knees for your employer.

Yeah I'm leaving it alone until it gets the electric assist! I don't earn anywhere near enough to wreck my already shit knees any more.

My friend Rocco is building his own Cargo bikehttp://roccosaldailmondo.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/nuova-cargo-2.html

Nice job, keep updating!

Anyone have any experience of the Cargo Bike race in the Urban Hill Climb
Brief recap of last year's event seems to suggest you have to have a cargo bike designed to carry children?

just thought I'd way in as I have a bullitt and I run it either in child carrying mode or as my daily I run it with a bucket. The bucket is £25 it fits and SBC cycles do them.

Wow.. Mad bonus points for gum walls!

Nice bike. What is the front headset? It looks very low stack on the top.

I think Caspar (aka @Rapsac) was using his daughter as cargo last year on each climb to give all the cargo bike riders an equal load to carry.

Whether that's possible on all cargo bikes I don't know.

@svendhöek I don't actually know off the top of my head but I can have look.

found it:

It seems to be standard equipment on new bullitts (with 1 1/8 - 1 1/2 fork)
Great for not knocking your head on

@mattyS well hello you. X
