Cargo Bikes

London Green Cycles?

Yep

Yep. Just let me know.

Amazing! You still have the bullitt?

Yeah I ride it to work quite regularly (mudguards and good quad workout)

@Lolo I agree! My use of "essential" is too strong a word. I see plenty of kids in/on bikes without covers and you're right it's not essential. But at times it saves a lot of faff and keeps kids and their belongings dry.

3 kids?

Looks really smart with the silver cockpit and hubs <3

Front brake looks a bit short tho?

cheers for the effort!

So fundamentally turning circle and riding confidence for other rider. good to understand.

luckily my wife can barely ride a Santander bike so there's no way she'll ever ride a cargo, especially power assisted.

I definitely want the stiffness of the messenger/high top tube.

Update! Bike is done! Found a nice sheet of mahogny plywood from a boat shop. Coated in oil and fitted with stainless ankerpoints for straps.
Have a nice friday you all!

Does anyone have a shot of a 406 x 2.35 tyre in an omnom fork? Preferably front view. :)

This is a Fly Sergio tyre (2.35") in a non-WiFi fork. Can provide a better picture tomorrow if you need another angle

This is @psg1ben running a 2.2" tyre

Clever use of spiral wrap and heat-shrink to get the rear light cable where it needed to go.

That's perfect man, thanks!
Apparently the WiFi fork is no different though.

London Green Cycles?

Can't see any on their website. You've made a very convincing case to at least try one out though, so if there's any London dealers I'd like to visit. Did you get yours at LGC?

Yep got ours from LGC. They still have Douze bikes on their site? For instance:

Also a good review of the Douze:

Anyone ridden or owned an Omnium Mini WiFi?

How do they ride? Worth the money?

Thinking of ordering one to get out and about in the summer, mostly city riding but the occasional longer ride.

Any experiences would be really appreciated, hard to find any opinion on it.

Thanks! 👋

Also worth considering Urban Arrow; only caveat is that they are heavy and big but good value spec.

Just got a mini max wifi in blurple.. I know it’s not what your after, but I was going to get the mini, for dog carrying duties, but decided it was probably a bit small for my two.... but, all I will say is that the ride is excellent! So smooth and quiet.....! I know it’s new bike feeling, so should ignore a bit of how I felt it went, but it feels planted and fast!😂
Dan at velo domestique in Bournemouth sorted me out, and has good contacts with the omnium guys👍

They are rad, Omnium have split their range into Classic (QR) and WiFi (TA with big clearance), Classic only comes in black in a medium and the completes are equipped with Deore, the WiFi range comes in various colours, sizes and is equipped with SLX.

I am selling my Kepler in favour of running my Mini Max WiFi as my do it all cargo/gravel/dog carrying/commuter bicycle

Also can anyone show me a better off the peg paint job?
