Having had an #edgeRunner longtail and *then* a bakfiets aka "box bike" #superCargo has been a slightly backwards journey from what's probably typical for bike parents, but I doubt we would have ridden the infants around in the suburbs and the longtail is way more agile, squeezing between stopped car traffic and bumping up a curb is maybe doable without putting a foot down (if it's 6in or less for me), vs being a matter of leverage and quite an ordeal with the box bike.
#BikeNite A2 unless your bike has rack-mounting designed into the head tube, probably not. I think xtracycle and radpower say 50lb for their fixed front racks. I might put 50lb on this contraption on my zigo but it starts to pull on the handlebar. Davey Oil once built this head tube extension for an xtracycle #edgeRunner with #stokeMonkey #eBikes #BikeTooter -- wish I could get one for a suspension fork.
Can you see Mt St Helens over my xtracycle #edgeRunner on S Corbett just before 3pm on 2024-12-02?
Also yes.
Can you see Mt Hood over the saddle of my xtracycle #edgeRunner on S Corbett at about 3pm on 2024-12-02 #pdxBikes #cargoBikes #pdxTst?
Yes.
Riding the 2014 #xtracycle bbs02 #edgerunner more often lately, thinking maybe I should get a #GrinMAC motor for the rear of it, possibly a new bigger battery and update some parts. It's just such a dependable old truck but the rear is a little flexible when youngest+spouse are both on it. 11yo prefers the #supercargo / #umbrellaBike & 13yo is too heavy to not be pedaling so we end up on the #bikeFriday tandem more. Crowded in the garage though #nPlus1Problems #BikeTooter #eBikes #cargoBikes
Nice #edgerunner long tail #cargoBikes #eBikes to get with your rebate, for those in BC. The rest of us will have to spend tens of thousands to get and keep an old-fashioned #EV with our govt subsidies.

Current state of the #cargoBike "#bagAndDrag" / #bikeTowing setup, if the kids' bike tire wedges into the #xtracycle #edgeRunner cargo rails, you don't need to strap it at the bottom. It's best with 3 good points of contact on the wheel and the fork to be able to pivot. Experimenting on this strut/compression bit: the white PVC won't survive outside, going to be grey, but needs a different arrangement of the strap to draw tight, (and some rubber on the ends?) #bikeTooter #bikeParent #nPlus1
TIL that Vee makes 26x2.8 speedsters and now I'm excited to wear out my hookworm. #bikeTooter #cargoBike #edgeRunner
