Edinburgh bicycle coop had an ex-display load 60 a while back

😂

Got 3 x 6yo in the front box the other week - bit of a squeeze but no complaints. TF for motor tho!

Anyone have any resources for opposing road building schemes, specifically once they hit public inquiry phase? Ideally in Scotland, but I suspect the process isn't so different in E&W

We got a trailer when our two were 3yrs/9mo. It was fine on road as long as you avoid the scary traffic. Most people give you room.

Weans enjoyed the ride home “dad put it on TURBOOOOOOO”. From a standing start it does shift, until you hit 16.5 mph 😅

New bike day and the sun came out for my ride home!

SOLD! Thanks

Yeah

Still feels like it isn't sufficient in London!

Fortunately we escaped to East Lothian ;)

I'm leaning towards a Pragmasis 13mm chain with a noose and a quality D-lock. Might get their Dib one as it's a fair price.

The D1000 looks amazing but maybe overkill. Will consider tracker.

Thanks

Hive mind absolutely on point today - thanks! Bike comes with an integrated Abus frame lock, but the compatible extension chain isn't SS Gold :(

I was assuming a chain style was needed. Any thought as to length? @stevo_com's suggestion is 100cm, which I'd have guessed would be a bit short. Can you get it around a rack/lamppost/etc even with the box getting in the way?

As new bike day isn't far off (EXCITED), what do people reckon the best locks are for a cargo bike? (Front box variety) Will probably have to be "Sold Secure Gold" for insurance purposes...

Much joy!

Burley D'lite X

Hi thanks! Yeah the silver nut that clamps the trailer hitch indeed unscrewed. Previously I've been able to undo the axle using the hitch as a handle. I'm going to just cross my fingers until the new kid carrier turns up before trying anything potentially destructive. We are probably gonna sell it anyway and the buyer is unlikley to need the same axle as me...

I am considering it. I may just cross fingers for no punctures until the cargo bike arrives when I can replace the axle without major inconvenience

aye, you're probably right :(

So my rear thru axel is stuck too :(

It does loosen off just over a full rotation but then is very stuck. It's a special one from Burley for towing a kid trailer so doesn't have a handle or allen key socket on the left, only an allen key socket on the drive side. I gave it a bit of force and have rounded the socket FFS- it seems to be made of soft alu :(

Since it moves a fair bit rather than being totally seized, I'm confused as to the problem. Maybe the threads that protruded on the drive side have been damaged?

So what are my options? I trying to remove the wheel for a bike clean as was super dusty, so no urgent need to remove. Ideally a non-destructive option, as they don't seem to make this particular length axle anymore. (Although when our cargo bike arrives in 2 months I will care less about this as we may sell the trailer and I can go back to the axle that came with the bike)

I can take it to the LBS at some point but it's tricky time wise

PRICE DROP 200£ - I will update pics later, must have deleted the old one

Had a tidy and looking to shift these after a long hiatus

Dredge due to garage tidy and PRICE DROP

I like this proposal. You could get hold on on your bike ski lift style. Want to see a video of that (please wear a helment!)

I was very excited for a minute, then saw it's in Southampton while I am in Edinburgh. Could be a fun mini holiday riding that home, but not sure I've got the leave!

We tried Riese & Müller Load in both sizes last week at Kinetics in Glasgow. All the fam were impressed - MUCH nicer than Raleigh Stride and Urban Arrow. Kids liked the suspension for no bumps and motor got us up an strava 11% segment with medium effort https://www.strava.com/segments/1542456. Does not handle like a milk float. Spendy tho.
