    What have you been riding lately?

    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...

    Cockpit shots only

    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...

    What have you been riding lately?

    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 and let's put it like this: I took a few cockpit shots while testriding some of the bikes...

    Next build off………

    I originally planned to sit the summer BO out this year, but then a friend sent me a hint and today I picked up this for free basically around the corner: And as my wife requested a better bike to move around on the campground, it seems a suitable ladies campground rat will be in the makings...

    No need for apologies here. It says "What have you been riding lately?" I don't see any obligation in it that your ride needs to be a rat... (If I go through my older postings in this thread I even see ice skates and sleds...) 😉
