Cargo Bikes

Talk to me about cargo bikes! Following cargo related comments in the live blog today, I thought I'd spin it off into a forum thread for people to share experiences of cargo bikes. Front-loaders, long-tails, electric and acoustic, all welcome.         

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

There are a fair few Cardiff bike paths which would be impassable on a front loader but can be done on the GSD.

I found some of these today around Gabalfa / Heath. I haven't felt the need to use Cardiff's paths much historically but, as I start to explore traffic free routes for family rides, there is some awfully unfriendly infrastructure. Found some slalom gates that I think even the Tern might struggle with.

Si Richardson did a video a week or so ago on gcn on what he'd found over a year of using a gsd (I think!). Not a review or anything like that, just some things he though worthy of consideration, might be worth a gander, might not. I found it interesting but am easily pleased.😊

I would definitely recommend looking at the hase pino, they do a kit to put kid sized pedals on the front so your child can participate. But unlike a traditional tandem there is a freewheel on the stokers chainset, so they can rest when they need to.
