Sydney bike library - would be a great resource to be able to hire one. This type of activity could work well with the Men's Shed concept. Keep and maintain a small fleet of bikes for hire and increase multi generational community contact. I'll add this to the list of potential retirement options/activities.

So its been too long since I posted a photo, and after a late night at work I have just discovered that I don't actually know how to do it anymore

I look forward to joining the discussion when I sort this out in the morning after a good night sleep

he was very cute, but there was only 1 & not a heavy load so plenty of opportunities for something different.

So this is what I’ve got: Yuba Mundo longtail,

And this is what I often carry: dog, shopping, wife!

In this instance we are just leaving a local community garden, having been to the farmers market to buy the fruit, veg and bread for the week



Hopefully I’ve successfully posted a photo this time!

So was this built for Bits a Bikes and passed on to someone or does it have another story?

Before I got the Yuba Mundo longtail (that I eventually managed to post a photo of above ), my main way of carrying larger loads was a Bob Trailer on the back of my MTB. Its still an option I have but doesn't get used much these days:

I built it for myself. Used to do a round trip to Subi Markets each week till it closed. It sat idle, saw a bloke collecting cans so gave it to him via Bitsa Bikes.

I'll come back to this threa as i've builtt three trailers protypes in the past and didn't have phots to link too. currently searching the photo archives.

They were a design based on a brochure for a trailer built by Jack London, Uk around 1900 and basically a flat bed single tyre. Mostly carried local pre-school kids on local rides, although when a wire cage was added it could double as a crate for the weekly grocery shopping. Back to lookng for photos.

Slightly related and unfortuately also off line was some cost calculations for the power plant for a e-trike cargo bicycle to carry one tonne. AIRI, the lead acid version was going to cost <$50,000 and weigh 250kg and the Li-one version was going to costs ~$350, 000 and weigh 150kg. costig about a decade ago. NB. battery size for a long life.
