I think it's Ealing/Acton - I remember @skydancer talking about it.

At the homebase at Savoy Circus East Acton. I used it. Great idea. 24 hour use for no money

Looks like I've just found my new cargo bike...

(by new I mean first and only)

The last one I'd seen didn't look ready to ride. I'd check with the stores you could get one from to see if they have been maintained. I remember when they got them back in 2015/2016 and if they only had a year or two service plan the bikes might now be unroadworthy.

balls, are there any in SE London? fuck going to Acton homebase

fuck going to Acton

Quite.

There's a reason there's none in SE London. #westisbest

Nice day to take your new dishwasher for a ride...

Ahhh, Melbourne!

My boys are too big for the long bike now, the dog needs to come to work with me and I need to get fit. 15 mile each way commute on this is getting the job done.

Dope. Can't wait to I get a dog some day. I'll take it everywhere

Nice conversion! No doubt the Jack Russell loves going in/on the bike. 15 miles each way on that machine will certainly keep you fit. Good to see the bike being put to good use now kids are too big. Can't ever see us getting rid of our cargo bike unless space becomes a huge issue. Big fan of BIG L O N G bikes! :)

He was asleep by the end of the return trip so we can say he’s pretty relaxed. The space the bike takes is a bit of a problem - it’s a pain to get it through the house and shop at either end, but it saves the thick end of £15/day in fuel and parking.

So that's a normal bike with an extender?

It’s a kit called an Xtracycle Freeradical but I think they’re out of business or not making the conversion kits anymore. It’s the design Surly licensed for the Big Dummy one-piece long frame.

Spotted at the bike jumble this morning. Full-sus electric Bullitt with cable steering and Cannondale Headshok forks.

Bike jumble on a Friday? Where????

In Denmark. Bank Holiday innit.

Nice meeting you :) That Bullitt was/is bonkers.

Likewise! Yes, the amount of work done on that bike was quite something. There was quite a lot of nice bikes parked around actually. And sooooo many Omniums...

Remote electric lockout would be useful. You'd be hard pressed to reach that knob...

This is the last time I'm not going to attend that jumble.
That thing is mad!
