You're gunna hurt yourself: Carry Shit Olympics (aka the Cargo Bike thread)

oh, wait, Reddit is broken, and this also is not read it. (thank God)

Has anybody else using an iPhone noticed that dictation has gone down the goddamn shitter in the past couple of days/weeks?

In any case, I’ll upload some pictures soon. It truly is a fantastic way to keep your cargo contained.

I have to admit that I have never actually folded down the sides to carry bulky objects, but I love knowing that I could Dash and I would not be upset about throwing away my chunk of foam, if the right opportunity came along. Because my chunk of foam certainly preclude me from actually folding the thing down.

every time i try to upload pics i get some discourse exec error

[karl_dandleton]

nvm here we go. something is amiss but it seems to be with multiple file uploads

Are there any giant bags that work well with the Clydesdale? Porteur bag or something?

[Rusty_Piton]

I had an old swift porteur bag that I used on mine when I first got it. It was fine but widening the platform with a basket or bin is the way to really get everything out of the Clydesdale atmo.

[Shamp]

That makes sense now that I think about it.

[Rusty_Piton]

I know that BIGANT is the official tarck Clydesdale container, but I love my yellow lid HDX bin for its water proofness and for not having all my stuff exposed when I run into a store for five minutes or whatever.

[jame5on]

I almost ate shit trying to ride over one of those lids that blew off a whole foods transport ebike/trailer. it was slippery

[Shamp]

This is kinda what I’m trying to solve with Box X Bag combo: covered but enough space for THINGS without being too bulky or heavy

[Bootus]

The interior footprint of the BIG ANT is a little bigger than a 139 so any 139 sized bag will fit just fine. I did that this winter, moving a Tunitas bag back and forth between the two on different bikes depending on the weather.

ok maybe 5 it’s six, but i might still be missing someone

Add me too

[Shamp]

Excellent news

[karl_dandleton]

there is also an official cooler insert, just saying
and a cutting board that keys in to the top

ok maybe they discontinued the cooler bag

this fits perfectly Rush Messenger Flat Rack Pack – Origin8.bike
but otherwise I hate it because it isn’t good enough and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you found for $25 like I did

I did giant wald 157 basket and then made a roll top bag for it because I couldn’t find anything equivalent. it’s pretty heavy. just lifted another Clyde the other day that probably weighs 10lbs less than mine and got immensely jealous

[Jacobell]

This is also what I did

Have no real reason to upgrade it since it just works

[Bootus]

@Shamp

Excellent news

I should probably clarify that applies to the medium BIG ANT, but that’s what we’re all rollin’ with anyway.

[Rusty_Piton]

@alp

made a roll top bag for it

I’m super jealous of your ability to quickly conjure custom luggage apparently out of thin air!

[joyofvaping]

Anybody come up with a fork mounted kickstand solution for a clyde?

@Shamp

…ll badge controlled and in the underground garage. I’m not too worried about security and there’s a ton of space in each room (plus quick lock up racks all over the place, both outside and inside). I guess if I had to put the bike in the elevator it would be tricky, but that’s about the only limitation I can think of.I guess I should figure out if there are any power outlets in those rooms though.

I know this was a minute ago, but I wanted to say that everyone who I know who has had a bike stolen in Seattle (3 people I think who I know of?) Have had them stolen out of secured bike rooms in newish apartment complexes. Usually from locked rooms deep in locked parking garages.

Atmo, get a big expensive bike lock and keep that thing locked up tight even when it’s inside the secured bike room.
