Cargo Bikes

I AM!!!!

question what's the oldest/heaviest child that you guys have ridden around regularly in a cargo bike.
jnr is 3.6 and we're not likely to move to a house with enough space for a cargo bike, for a year at least. So wondering how long cargo bike could be used for kid carrying duties, before they out grow it..

Tern GSD?

Do Not Want!
I'm going full cargo bike (bullit, douze or similar) when we have the space, or I'll just make do with the surly dad bike.

fair, I am actually going to sell the bullitt and get GSD when kid grows out of the canopy

I carried my 31 year old wife around on my bullitt when she injured her hand and couldn't ride..

I think corny has me on ignore for being mean but can someone send him this

Hours of fun with Google translate.

10.
40 kg.
No motor

I've done the same.
Didn't work out well when we tried the reverse though.

All depends how comfortable you want the passenger to be and how long the trip is.

On date nights we take turns who gets to ride the other one around in the city in our non-electric Bullitt.

Neighbours also have a Bullitt but have a big plastic box fitted and haul both their kids in it, think they are 4 and 6.

We are looking at some kind of long tail solution as a second bike though.

Hmm,
Thanks for all the replies, I’m just trying to have a justification for getting electric cargo bike (£5k+) plus exterior storage space over and above what we’d need for the bikes we already have, if it’s only going to be used every couple of weeks for big shopping run, and not on a daily/weekly basis for taking jnr to school/activities, weekend days out.

I take 5 and 3 year old to school in mine everyday now, and everywhere at weekends. Enough space for both, and they are units.

One of the reivews I was watching for the UA Family had them using two of them, one had the camera operator in the box filming the other one. That was a full adult.

New saddle day for my cargo bike!

I am replacing my worn San Marco Rolls Titanio with a Brooks C67 Cambium.

That C67 is MASSIVE.

3 Attachments

That is BIG! Keep the San Marco as they can be recovered or sold/passed on to someone who would keep it going.

The plan is to sell the Titanium Rolls in eBay to cover the C67 costs.

7 3/4 child (the 3/4 is important!!!) in a non motor Medium Douze (same size as Bullitt). No idea how heavy, but headroom on canopy is max'd out and his legs are quite folded up. considering buying a Long front-end (+200mm length / +100mm width) to make it more comfortable for him, but will be around 1.5K... Bike is used by me and my wife

You should get OK money for it. Hope the Brooks sees as much action.

AND hope no fucker tries to nick it!!!

My daughter is 7 and weighs about 30kg ish. I ride her home from school still, but I feel the days are really numbered now. Medium Douze as well, no motor.

If you're only doing a shopping run with it, get a non motor second hand Christiana. That's what we have. Save yourself a few grand for something else.

I also avoid big hills with any kind of significant weight in a non electric Christiania.

Pfft. My old Brooks B130 is going on mine

Not a fan of christiana’s (do they do anything else apart from the 3 wheel one?) as it seems to defeat the purpose of having a cargo bike if it’s difficult/impossible to filter through traffic.
Ideally we’d move to a place with enough space to store one by the end of next year and I’d take jnr to pre school and then school and get a good few years of child transport duty out of it.
But if we don’t move, dad bike will have to suffice..
