you may not be able to fit drop bars outside the basket
but it does sound pretty easy to fit them in the basket

The Prepared has a bunch of cargobiek content this week
A few interesting cargo bike designs:
- The Flevobike Green Machine, a recumbent with a fully enclosed drivetrain and a Rohloff 14-speed internally geared hub that operates as a totally enclosed mid-drivetrain gearbox. Older Flevobike models are even weirder, as are all of the wacky remixes and adaptations on the Flevobike Fanclub Site. See also these old (and rather moody) Flevo engineering sketches.
- XYZ Cargo sells a line of 2, 3, and 4 wheeled cycles made of square aluminum tubing, bolted together with end connectors. Based on an open source (Creative Commons FTW!) design called the XYZ Spaceframe Vehicle, they look a little floppy to me but have some pretty rad configurations due to their modular framing system.
- CW&T’s Penny Pelican is a front-loading cargo bike made of bolted-together aluminum tubing & plate. I found the handling geometry totally incomprehensible the one time I rode it, but to be fair to Che-Wei it didn’t have a seat installed at the time - and anyway, seeing him riding around Brooklyn with his two kids loaded into the Pelican case is extremely charming.

Is that one of the wireless SON hubs from that blowout sale a coupla years back?
What’s the little light on the saddle? Is that a dynamo jobber?
theres gotta be a tarcklebee for this
I really like this
I made a bag for the crust fork! It’s the first thing I’ve ever sewn. It’s messy and weak but I like the overall design. Just need to wait for my velcro to show up for the basket mount.

Yup. One of two (the other one is tucked away as a spare, though if I can find a cheap 28h White disc hub it will be unlaced so I can use the matchy matchy rim on the disco travel bike.
It’s a B&M rack mount light, wired down through the chairpost.

Vimeo embeds with no seek or volume controls are absolutely heinous. How is that even allowed.
Weird bike though!
