  Any good places in/near SW london recommended to go and take a look at some of these beasts?

  Was in kingston yesterday and popped into Balfe's and the Sigma electric shop, neither have any stock of bikes with big boxes on the front on the shop floor, presume coz they're massive and a bit of a waste of shop space. Would be handy to throw a child into one to get some perspective on space.

  Yeh, after 2 years with the WeeRide (top tube mounted, front facing seat), I really enjoy that shared experience. Rented a bike on holiday with a rear-rack mounted child seat and didn't like it at all.

  sounds like a good option, intrigued to hear how you get on with it.

  I'm assuming the Trek's front box max weight of only 80kg is because of the suspension fork. Will try give it a test ride with the 2 year old in there over some bumps to see how it feels, does seem unlikely that it would be that good for such a wide range of weights.

  Had the hammer blow of impending twins to add to the existing toddler recently.

  Sure it'll work out more surviveable than it seems at first.

  It does at least seem a fine excuse to upgrade the existing cheap hybrid with weeride toddler seat to something more motorised and capacious.

  I live a little bit in the middle of nowhere, there's lots of great riding nearby to local shops, parks and amenities, but mostly off road. Most of the Urban Arrows and Raleighs seem more suited to CS8 than the local bridleways.

  I've noticed the Trek Fetch+ 4 has a suspension front fork which makes it look pretty appealing.

  Any other suggestions for ecargo bikes which can fit 3 small people in and/or a load of stuff from B&Q or a combo of the two?

  Enjoyed reading the ups and downs of this thread over the last few days.

  Now genuinely unsure what's worse

  a) the occasionally questionable, sometimes outrageous statements made by a bloke on the internet who may or may not be 100% serious when he's saying them

  or

  b) the rabid mob of posters on here so keen to end his existence.

  This is basically what Velofix do in the US, isn't it?

  Any point in contesting it based on this?

  was the only vehicle on the road, lights were red about 150m ahead of him and he drove into the box. cant be arsed making another video of it, and not the worst thing he did in the clip.

  thanks for feedback, sounds like i deserve the fine, annoying as it is. (go that way every day so knew the lights were 2s from changing which is why i didnt come to a complete stop).
