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

Yeah, see, he is talking about rain, not precipitation that includes vague water droplets barely hanging in the air all day long. Maybe PNW folx don’t really grasp the difference, but that’s on them.

That’s basically Stockholm too. Any time the forecast says rain, it means ‘a few minutes of light rainfall on the leading edge of the clouds, followed by intermittent light drizzle that makes it annoying to be outside for hours’.

This summer has been awful. Never had more than three days of sunshine in a row. Not enough to recover to withstand the next winter.

this dynamic is one of the best things about summer in the South. porch sitting with a beverage and some music on while the storm rolls thru, petrichor after it passes, knowing it will be dry for a reliable amount of time

Talk to me about trailers, for loading up on groceries and whatever. Single wheel? Dual? What works with TA?

It’d be for large grocery hauls and whatnot, maybe some camping trips once sup is all fixed up and wants to get out again.

Huh?

bob is the best trailer

the company went out of business

they can still be found on ebay, cl, mp

they are very adaptable to many different bikes and sturdy. it’s the one orc rides to costco

there is a more expensive version (yak) with suspension

they made two lengths of the yoke one that would do 26" or 700c skinny.

they’re is a longer 29er version as well.

the connection is easy and solid and unobtrusive . putting it on the bike is tool free.

And Robert Axle Project has axles with Bob mounts for most anything else out there…it’s sorta their origin story.

You’d want the longer “29"” yoke for anything with fenders.

Probably not gonna go to all the trouble to source a used Yak, axle adapters, and a 29" yoke to be honest.

How are those Burley Coho trailers?
