As it’s a trike, expect it to tip over and jolt around due to speed bumps and speed cushions, make sure you hit them straight on. The camber of the road will mean that you’re always tipping to one side.

Sounds fun! Have you ridden a trike before? As mentioned, they ride very differently to a two wheeler so might be a good idea to do a quick, unladen test ride to get used to not leaning. The first time I rode a trike I kept crashing in to the curb going around corners until I got used to the difference.

So I've hired a cargo bike to take the kids around London on Saturday. An 18ish mile loop to and from Albany Street. Here's the bike in question: https://www.londongreencycles.co.uk/shop/bikes/type/electric/christiania-straight-middrive-steps/
What can I expect laden with 3 kids with a combined weight of around 70kg?
Will I get any Strava PRs or KOMs?It runs on a Shimano Steps motor with around 40-60kms. We will be stopping from time to time of course, but I'm trying to work out how long our adventure might take us, with traffic and all.
