I carried this on my bicycle

"She's not pedalling at the front!"

Could be a circus act?

Wrong thread?

(No, I didn't have a coat)

[Cudzoziemiec]

Mum's making you a coat right now.

You are going touring in France & this is your solution to the squat toilet problem.......           It doesn't look very aerodynamic.

[Canardly]

Im impressed with the bike stand extension.

[Cudzoziemiec]

For ADCU (now I know what that means) use?

[Peter]

Kim, does it "exhaust" into the pannier?  If so, I think it may have sprung a leak.

[drossall]

I suppose it's one way to get a comfortable saddle.

All set for Barakta’s release?

ETA: I mean as a way of getting home.

Have you gone potty?

I'm imagining that journey being the trice, pulling the carry freedom, with suitable wheel chair tie downs. Bit like this...

There's a new cargo bike sharing scheme in Amsterdam. It's €4.20 an hour, and the bikes are only in one neighbourhood that's 7km away from home. But when you wanna move the big heavy stuff, it's what you need.




This is some Atlas cedar I want to use for some woodworking projects.

Neat idea. And €4.20 an hour still works out cheaper than a Voi, which wouldn't carry that anyway.

No Voi in Amsterdam. The main competitor is the €6.95 + €0.19per km of Greenwheels.

I've actually found that it's rare to go two days here without seeing at least one cargo bike. If I'm in the right place at the right time I can see two or even three within a quarter of an hour or so. It seems they're replacing bike plus trailer for the school run among a certain category of local parent, though you do see them used for deliveries (mostly food) and shopping too.

Rare sighting of someone riding a cargo bike on the pavement (not shared use bollocks or to access a property) the other day. I think that means they're going mainstream?

Those small-wheeled electric assist Terns seem to be quite popular.  They do look like an extremely practical (easy to store, low-faff, Silly Sustrans Gate friendly) bike for carrying one child or a moderate amount of shopping.

I rode this one on the pavement today to get to the front of my flat. I've been getting increasingly annoyed by my neighbours parking bikes there. There's one guy who parks his bike on the kick stand such that it leans outwards a lot, it really eats up space. At least once I've stopped, and rotated the bike 180° to make it take up less space. I wonder if I do it enough times they will get the hint.

The Tern's do look rather nice. Certainly very Dutch city friendly. Expensive tho. I don't think I could justify a cargo bike for the amount I use them. But I am seriously considering getting a carry freedom trailer in the new year.

Someone down Larrington Gardens Road keeps his chained to the lamp post outside his gaff, presumably because it's too unwieldy to manoeuvre through the house and into the back yard.  He also has a prosthetic lower right leg, although these two facts are probably not related.

[Cudzoziemiec]

I'd be extremely tempted by a Tern GSD or similar if I had more children and more money. In fact I'd even consider one if I just had more money (and space) without the additional child as urban shopping and popping transport.

One good tern deserves another

woof!

Wait, so is this picture supposed to be sarcastic or something? Or did  this kind of bike really exist back in the day?  Okay now I'm wondering if they had <spammy link> in the 19th century haha. If my memory serves me right, then an insurance is supposed to cover the damages that happen to an object, right? I would say that there are some pretty basic damages that should be in the list like: theft, accidental damage, bicycle liability and rental reimbursement? I know, it sounds a bit silly. It's just that there are still so many things that remain uncovered up until today.
