There’s a photo of someone riding around with a grown ass man on the front.
i rode with my buddy on the front of an ahearne cycletruck. i felt more afraid for his safety and my handling than anything else
I’ve given people handlebar rides on various kinds of bicycles and none feel safe or controlled (although that is part of the fun) but I’ve never ridden a cycletruck. Longtails are good for this but then you’ve got to deal with a longtail.
Id think the “bakfiets” style with the front-mid mounted cargo deck and linkage steering would ride best. but idk shit about these bikes.
[quote=E-ROCK][quote=turpencat]it’s this thing right?
atmo same as soma[/quote]
Yeah, that’s the thing. Soma makes a cargo fork?[/quote]
no I was saying it is the same as if soma had done it.
Fuck it. I’m doing it.
Hell yes
I want to try that thing when youre done with it!
I’ve wanted a bike with some cargo capacity for a few years.
Sweet tarck bear these hydros are so nice.
The front squeals like crazy though, but I’m too sick to deal with it.
better than a ‘real’ cycletruck because they can rest their back against the handlebars
but the question of what the fuck they do with their legs is hard to solve, every position feels sketchy for different reasons
the only bike I’ve ridden that really satisfies your constraints was a tallbike with a porteur rack on the upper crown and pegs on the front wheel
Swapped Supermotos back onto the Hamplus. Was having fun monstertruckin’ around on Knards but decided those tires are too expensive to wear out pounding pavement. Plus the Supermotos are much more righteous on tarmac anyway

I want a commuter that rides like a normal bike with the wheelbase of a normal bike but can carry an extra person when needed. Will the crust pokes do this?[/quote]
Tracked down a creak! Started at seatpost clamp, then handlebar clamp, and then struck oil at the seatpost collar. Also dropped a tube of loctite on the floor then stepped on it, shooting loctite everywhere!
the old “loctite all over the place” trick!
that’s probably what fixed the creak
replaced extremely worn out chain and consequently borked cassette on CAAD10 and cleaned RD’s jockey wheels. holy hand grenade those things were cruddy and full of hair.
I get hair all up in my jockey wheels too. Have no idea where it comes from.
Sprayed a bunch of clicking parts on my Elephant with Boeshield T9, and all the clicking is gone!
Replaced a spoke on sup’s crest wheels. JRA it broke yesterday (maybe something jumped into it on the road).
Lost the nipple and had to do a wheel dance to get it out. We didn’t have 2.0-1.8 threads so I had to remove the tape and all that to put a 2.0 nipple in there.
Now to clean them to get ready for weekend trip to DE.
