motorbacon · October 18, 2011, 6:06pm

All you hippy bike nerds probably blew a load over that video

motorbacon · October 18, 2011, 9:27pm

Truth.

surfcat · October 18, 2011, 10:47pm

So many loads.

This is the cagro bike thrad after all.

I usually only ride the xtra when I know I have something to carry, but today I rode it just for the hell of it and wound up with a free new antique medicine cabinet and a new houseplant.
In conclusion, cargo bikes are awesome.

Well aware, but that fucking video reminded me of some save the earth, don’t buy new, eat this or that, mumbo jumbo nonsense of the ‘love the world’ type . Reminds me of my ex. Can’t stand that shit. Save the earth, but still buying new goods and shit.

Ok, ranting off topic.

TC: want freeradical for raleigh when i get a new road bike.

Yeah definitely agree, but, that lady is badass if she lives at the top of that giant fucking hill and rides up it with her kids in that Bakfiets. I’d be crying like a baby (those friggen Bakfiets make riding an Xtracycle or Big Dummy feel like a Formula 1 racer by comparison) EDIT: She has electric assist. This is a perfect example of when I’m a big fan of electric assist.

The rest I don’t care about so much. Definitely granola crunch going on there, but, she’d probably way cooler to hang out with than the average Kardashabee. And she’s totally right about the part where doing all the normal mundane stuff (take kids to school, go grocery shopping, etc.) is about a billion times radder and more fun on a bike. I feel like I’m getting away with murder, like, everyday.

And FWIW, if more people get into cargo bikes, and out of their minivans and SUVs, then I’m stoked. I’ve already got one family at my boy’s school saying they got their Xtracycle because of my example. I always make sure to be real encouraging with people who ask about the bike. Why not. Less cars is less cars.

JUGE_FREDD · October 19, 2011, 12:11am

she’s got an electric assist to get back up

surfcat · October 19, 2011, 12:14am

Yeah just picked up on that. I watched the first time this morning with the sound off and was in a hurry. I’ve edited my post. I definitely support e-assist for a bakfiets intended for hillclimbing.

I ride mine everyday for commuting, and since putting on the big apples, I love commuting on it ever more. Too often do I not plan for grocery store trips, so just being able to go on a whim is really nice.
