Shame they never had the Douze for a direct comparison
Yeah, it was pretty disappointing. They said don't bother with the online booking and just ring as they never know what's in stock . Lead times were in the months for a bullitt so still not sure what I'm going to do.
You’re more than welcome to come and try ours.
That's very kind and I would have definitely taken you up on that but I'm in forest gate east london so getting over there is not very likely for me atm.
I'll be in France for Christmas so that might be my best chance of testing a Douze the way things are going 😂

LGC are not the best communicators at times.
I think lead times on most cargo bikes is long at the moment. I think Douze are delivering to LGC early next year so might be no quicker than a Bullitt.
Sounds like France could be the best place to test ride the Douze. If you do find yourself heading West (London!) the offer for a test ride is still there.

Shame they never had the Douze for a direct comparison so you can hop from bike to bike. I love the Long Bakfiets, but it’s certainly a cruising machine rather than speed machine like the Bullitt/Douze.
Not sure who else who would have Douze in London? You’re more than welcome to come and try ours. We’re in Ealing, so we might completely out of your way? Our bike is also non-assist, but you will get a good idea of the handling/how it rides.
LGC used to offer bringing bikes to your home for a fee so you could test ride them around where you live. If you purchased a bike the fee was taken off the price of the bike. No idea if they still offer this though.
