Anyone know of a UK forum or web site specific for cargo bikes? I've got a Big Dummy and it's become my bike of choice (except when trains are involved in the travel) lately, and I'd quite like to know what's going on in the community. A Google of the subject matter returned nothing much in the UK.

A community of people who own cargo bicycle?
That'd be strange, like a community of people who own Ford Transit and go out dogging every fortnight.
Netherless there's a bloke, proper normal clothed one riding a Christina in Wimbledon as well as someone with a Big Dummy.
Very much want a Larry Vs. Harry but feel it might be overkill when I have a decent trailer + bike combo.

Or a community of people who own fixed-gear bikes and go out skidding at the weekends.

Curiously enough, a project for cargo bikes is just being started in Hackney. Here's a (n embryonic) blog linked to the Cycling Cultures project at UEL:

The project will feature introducing families to the joys of child transport by cargo bike and things like that. Should be interesting!

gorgous but OMG I have to agree with 'scobble (shock horror?!), tried a mates bike out at the weekend with a bob type trailer with around 30kg on it, and yes, need ALL those 11-34t gears to move that thing around, and discs.
is that actually a surly trailer then?
I use the 26T ring of my triple quite a bit, when fully loaded. Would'nt fancey SS.
The clever bit is how you load it. If you add slightly more load forward of the trailer axle. You add a little weight to the rear wheel. This makes the frequent out of the saddle efforts a lot easier. Especially in winter conditions.

That design (modified into a stretcher) has been successfully utilized in places without roads. I didn't realize that it was around in the 40s.
Thanks for the pic! -
Picked up from World Bicycle Relief Kenya to provide day-to-day transportation. Probably the heaviest bicycle I've ever owned at approx 43 pounds! Weight is definitely the index of a good bicycle in Kenya and with only a single gear some of the hills can be slightly tricky with a load on the back; the rear rack is rated for 250 pounds! This is the first bike I've ever owned with Dunlop valves and its definitely a unique ride. Still learning to throw my knees out when turning, otherwise you get knee overlap.
