I have some questions
Is the binder clip for cue cards?
Have you ever tried flipping the stem for the most ultimate nitto jaguar njs fixie look of all time?
I want to know if anyone with a funny bike or a tiny fixie ever got their bar clamp to rub the front tire. Seems like a goal someone would have strived for.

Gonna be tough to get my arms around the basket. Would you count it if I removed the handlebars and installed some pegs to steer with my feet?
oh my god it’s beautiful.

Before I put a Dynamo on my basket bike, I did the same thing with a section of chopped steerer tube. Works great
I have a section of cut off Thomson seatpost that I keep around for the same thing.
Could you install a shaft collar on the tube? https://www.mcmaster.com/shaft-collars
All those things are just sticks is of varying geometry! My stick turned out okay, not great tho, but happy with it for zero dollars.
(I sooooo wish I could find the pic Grant posted of a stick with a light on it that was attached with twine to a basket)
HY rode three errands on it today
WTH lots of rubbing at the chain guard in the three largest gears, damn chainline is 52mm! Next up is a shorter BB, or a different crank. 175mm arms would be really, really nice.
Did my first commute on it today, do like.
Part of me wants to get a dropper just so I can drop the saddle all the way down to make it feel more like a bmx bike.
the answer is never less dropper

Actually a phenomenal use case!
Had that same thought when thinking about a step through Omnium cargo bike a few years ago.
such a phenomenal use case that several now-defunct chinese bike share companies used it. it shit the bed real fast but if you got one that worked it was sw8. also didn’t go high enough for my 5’8”, 30” inseam ass
Yeah I think it might last a little better on my expertly maintained bike that is stored in a garage.

My future front loading cargo bike will for sure get a dropper so that both me and my wife can ride it easily.
