This is how around 2700 cyclists on a 1st of May protest ride in Berlin look like, all cramped up in one street as the police stopped us, because we had grown to big of a number so the rules had to be explained one more time to all... And in the other direction... The CobblestoneRat proudly...

Getting ready for todays first of May protest ride

It was my only chance to get her approval for building another new bike... 😜 Already got a few ideas for those holes. Best thing about this frame and fenders is that I got it for free! Frame and fenders will probably get sandblasted and powder coated in the base color. I'll see if I can/want to...

Hi guys. This will be my starting point. The goal is to build a nice new ride for my wife... Colours are already set by request, for the rest I'll have to go through my parts boxes on the campground.

And now after some garden work I'm "riding" my hammock and listening to the nightingale... Later we will put some meat, sausages and corn on the grill... Enjoy your Sunday!

Took the Wolverine this morning for a quick 40km spin to the sandpit in the Grunewald and back before (a late) breakfast...

This is how I got a cassette off of a freewheel:

Today the CobbleStoneRat proudly carried the flag of the RespectCyclists for a protest ride in my corner of Berlin...

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!
