it was still like 2 feet wider than our Honda Fit which already barely fits in the garage width wise.

Iām thinking about overall size for agility in the mountains maneuverability in the city and storage inside a flat while not becoming unwieldy with ~50lb+ loads
Cheese needs a trailer
Iām wary of trailers especially for this use caseā I donāt think it solves the maneuverability problem and definitely doesnāt make it easier to store in a flat
depends on the trailer. the bob trailer is pretty compact if you can hang it somewhere.
I would not store any cargo bike in an apartment

Back on my nonsense with the emergency randonneuse:
(After tearing it down completely to convert it to disco lyfe Iām riding it a bit, building up a bit, and repeating until itās back to normal. Except this time Iām splurging and buying a pair of maximally skinny Honjo[*] fenders instead of putting back the 700c planet bike ones that were on it in the first place.)
[*]: Honjo instead of v-o because, sadly, v-o 650b fenders are sized for fat tires and Iām not going to put anything bigger than a ConfrĆ©rie under this machine.

Iāve had a nice set of honjo sitting around for a 650x42 but then realized there is no way im fitting it between the seat stays on the rear. Currently a 700x32 sized fender on there keeping my butt dry but it sure is ugly.

I think itās too extreme even for that, though I have that series bookmarked for future use
It was much easier than I expected
If youāre not planning on using the fenders otherwise whatās to lose by whacking at them with a stick?
Back on my nonsense, but this time at Costco:
Only about 55 pounds, but I was 7 wavy miles away from home. And, yes, Iāve not yet put the shiny new (Honjo, because all the V-O 650b ones are for fat tires :-() fenders onto this machine yet.
One of these days Iāll get around to stripping it down to the frameset and get it powdercoated. But not today.

Is that a bike locker thing behind you there?
As a parent of a 4yo I approve of your fig bar purchase

Yes! Itās one of those cheese-wedge style ones thatās not big enough to fit a bike+trailer

@EndpointBraden or @Andpoint_Endy I was looking up something on the Outpost site and notice yāall have a couple Bombtrack Munroe Cargos. I know nothing about those and donāt think anyone here has one, whatās your take on em? Cromulent? Tern sandwich?
