Cargo Bikes

oops wrong kemper

Paging @Skülly - cargo Pedersen!!!

I have made the point of UK housing market, interpret that

sick!

Current unscheduled project to turn a minivelo into a school runner/weekly shopper due to theft of main squeeze marin beast. I spammed the minivelo thread but no love. Blackburn Local on the front looks like will work . Any thoughts on rear rack/basket options for the back - blackburn looks too high.

very cool, wot minivelo is that? would the front rack not interfere with the funky fork suspension thingy. Maybe a tern cargo rear rack?

I want a bike my 4 year old can sit on the back of, while I carry her bike up front on a rack.
On the current mum bike it's not possible. I think the soma looks good.

I don't understand their logic though because you can get a brand new one from any UK dealer in most colours within about 10 days? There was a shortage but there definitely isn't now, unless you want EP8.

Random, is your one orange and did I just see you riding it through Teddington?

Rare to see a minivelo. Rarer to see the exact model being ridden that someone posted on the forum just a few hours earlier.

Good shout - they have one that follows the wheel arc too > updated moodboard.
It's a Dahon Hammerhead 5.0 - Of all the front basket options the blackburn looks to have the most adjustability but yes the suspension gizmo is a headache.

Nah not me - that is random - I don't really ride bikes - just do bad collages of them :-P

Er, I started looking at the Argo a couple of days ago as an alternative to a trailer. Im now absolutely convinced that I need a packster 70 and nothing less will do. Fucking internet.

I'll be setting up a page for donations towards me living my middle class utopia.

haha, you need Urban Arrow

I'm on the edge of working so I thought the packster might suit mixed paths better. Plus it's more expensive so must be more better.

The paths will have gravel on them.

Urban Arrow XL is quite capable for a bit of off road / gravel riding. If it’s really muddy then you’ll need different tyres but that’s true for all bikes really

Is the Enviolo a bit shit?

I would try my hardest to upgrade to Rohloff - budget allowing.

Lots of people clocking up miles on Nuvinci hubs though.

I was thinking I'd just try to get a rd and cassette.

Thinking on the packster.

I don't recommend the Yasujiro, I'm told it's very noodley when loaded up.

We're still waiting on our demo 70, but I worry about the limited gear range of the Vario on a bike that heavy if you live in any sort of hilly place. Got plenty of 80 Varios rolling around Seattle just fine, but the 70 is on paper 5-9kg heavier than an 80...

Third incarnation of the ‘stedbox’ has gone down well with the doggo’s!
I’m totally in love with the way this thing rides...!
