Looking forward to getting some funny stares, we will be known quickly as the local family with mad bikes. I have a surly longtail as well so I'm sure will stand out. We have a canopy on the Bullitt, vital in the winter here in Oslo when its gets super cold and would be very useful in the Welsh rain. Our initial rental place has space for the bullitt but it looks a bit awkward to get in and out, that is one of our main concerns. We have no idea how long it will take to find + buy a house, need a double garage to fit in all the bikes.

Don't sell your Bullitt, at least not with out trying to see if it integrates into your new life first.

Hope the rental space works out for you guys. You'll get to meet lots of locals through cycling around on your "crazy" bikes :). A good canopy on a cargo bike is vital in my opinion. We leave ours fitted 95% of the time. We had an usually wet winter in London and not once did our boy ever get wet or cold, unlike his dad! :) It's also useful for holding all the shopping inside as since COVID we cannot get delivery slots from our supermarket so I've been enjoying heading to the supermarket at 06:00am and filling the bike up with a pretty full trolley... Not sure how it all fits in sometimes! :)

What a beautiful part of the world you're moving too... but then again I'm Welsh so slightly biased :)
Bullitt vs. Tern, either will be absolutely fine. Both you'll get funny stares from locals! :) depends on how much you're wanting to get on a train with the bike or transport it in the car. I would keep the Bullitt and see how you get on. Also depends on the age of your kids and if you have a canopy on the Bullitt/want to use the bike all year round. Also do you have somewhere dry & secure for a wide & 2.5m long bike?
