Just stumbled upon this. This thread seemed the most fitting...

@BartRidesEternal This concept seems strangely familiar...😉

Cargo bikes are so cool to ride! The one big problem is maneuverability when not riding. There the 3-wheelers have a huge plus, when you can just lift up the rear end and turn the bike around. The 2-wheelers in the classic 20-front+26/28-back set up fail here big time, except the ones with...

Nope, my wife needs a decent campground ride. Working title so far is "OldLace"

As a proud member of the most important Bicycle Club, that is, I already got my next +1 waiting outside on my balcony... :wink1: Let's see what it becomes...

That is the parking brake of the trike. It's from "Magura" But you could probably use it as a friction shifter as well.

I just ran it through the configurator on their site (I just HAD to know it). Without e-motor it would be around 3000 € with motor about 5000 € in a fairly basic configuration without all the fancy stuff (Rohloff Speedhub would cost another 1100 € alone...). I think this are very fair prices...

He's a friend of mine and had a lot of fun with his son and the daughter of another friend. An no, he didn't buy one but the mom of the little girl licked blood... 😁

Some more pictures from the bikes on display and also from some of the visitors Quite a few cargo bikes had a top AND a lower loading deck Here you can switch/take off the top deck with a quick release system and fold up the lower deck This tandem you can take apart for better transport...

Besides the folding, the crazy thing here is, that the saddle moves sideways, when you peddle. It was a bit like riding a swing bike, everything is moving... But the small wheels would be a problem on the cycle paths if Berlin... https://www.kwigglebike.com/ That was by far the heaviest bike I...

If had to choose one of my todays rides (and didn't have to worry about money) it would be the green iumentum at the top! I had a big grin on my face, when I brought it back! By far the best (cargo) bike I tried today!

That's the kwiggle. It's the smallest folding bike you can get. It actually fits in a hand luggage bag for the airplane. It takes getting use to but it's surprisingly easy to ride!

It looks great, but it was the worst ride of them all... Huge turn radius and I seem to simply I cannot get along with that tilt mechanisms...

As I have written over in my CobblestoneRat Build thread I spent the last two days at the VELO fair in Berlin Tempelhof. Yesterday a mainly looked at different bikes, checked out some specials and today I did loads of testriding, according to my tracking app it was around 11km on the...
