Cargo Bikes

The best description I can think of is more akin to drinking decaf in your whole life until you tried the real thing.

:D

Rivendell Atlantis, the successor to the Bridgestone XO-1, a touring bike nukey boy, not a cargo bike.

Better stick to the porn topic eh?

It's fucking loaded with cargo.

is this someone you know? where is it?

I'm feeling inspired... next year may be the year of binning the job and taking the epic cycle tour...

NOt really, no I don't know him.
And probably Ed also doesn't accept that entry as a cargo bike. So forget you ever saw that.
Scrap it off your mind please.

can't scrap it, am now envisioning the caadx luggaged up like that (maybe a little less though) on the trip from Leeds to Singapore that I'm sat here fantasizing about....

^ it looks like it's in australia by the look of the brick building, demountables, fence, kerb, drain and playground equipment

is this someone you know? where is it?

Hello Ed.

awesome

more awesome

Cat as bike stand. Sick.

Bike as cat hat!

Get that on 'stuff on cats' or whatever it's called............

I thought it is worth mentioning that Pashley pretty much invented the cargo bike

Bold statement, given that Pashley was founded in 1930, and these guys were racing cargo bikes from around the turn of the century.

Snapped* 3 years ago, my report on it here.

These poorly thought out front rack road/CX/tarck bike combos. Are for hipstering around London/Newyork etc. Carrying some ironic bread or something. They are not cargo bikes, and neither are they functional porn. TRy loading one with more than 5Kg and riding it more than 10km.

pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!

(IMHO)

Ok. They have a long history of building English work bikes. Your right that's not the same thIng.

Me and a mechanic (John) were toying with the idea of launching our own 'Mobile Mechanic', basically ride up and down the popular commute route and helped anyone who is stranded, needed some adjustment or simply requested a mechanic.

a la this;

why? it's perfectly simple - we just don't want to stay indoor in a shop.

(I'm aware that there's a handful already exist in London).

This is not a cargo bike.
