  2. Vol de #VeloCargo #cargobike à #Chambery #Savoie

    Depuis trois ans, Guillaume Gaschignard est crêpier sur le marché. Dans l’après-midi du mardi 1er septembre, il s’est fait voler son vélo-cargo indispensable à son activité. Son outil de travail a disparu. Il lance un appel à l’aide.

    Großer Einkauf - für #carryshitolympics hat es leider nicht gereicht 😉.
    Bei entsprechender Infrastruktur für Lastenrad und vielleicht sogar #spedelec, käme sicher auch die #verkehrswende mal voran!

    PS: wann Ladezone bei #toom?!!!!elf111

  4. Kennt jemand dieses Fahrzeug? Es sieht aus wie ein eelo aus Bochum.

    Wir haben es im Einsatz in Delft beobachtet.

  6. RE: fedifreu.de/@chpietsch/1171503

    Es gibt eine Reihe „Alltags“-#Fahrräder, die mehr als 8000 € kosten, und so viel kostet auch ein 45 km/h Auto. Aber nicht nur die möchte mensch natürlich auch vernünftig gegen #Diebstahl absichern. Hier ein sehr langer Thread, was denn da möglich ist. Mein persönlicher Tipp: Das Fahrrad über eine Versicherung komplett absichern. Am günstigsten macht das i. d. R. die Hausratversicherung. Ob es da einen Rabatt für eingebaute Diebstahlsicherungen z. B. von Bosch gibt, weiß ich nicht. #Cargobike

  7. There seems to be some more mini-cargobikes coming soon. The one from Velo Orange and Soma both look very interesting:
    bikepacking.com/bikes/bikes-an
    and
    bikepacking.com/bikes/bikes-an

    While I like Velo Orange's dropout design more, with the rack mount I'm a fan of the Soma version. (Looks really similar to existing models from Blacksnow, I guess they're manufacturing for Soma...)

  8. Creative wraps from a #cargobike

    Chicken with pineapple and Nduja or Salad with Mango, Pecorino and chili peppers are some of the options that Heinrich Heim offers from his cargobike in Frankfurt.

    He prepares two fillings a day in a communal kitchen, loads his bike, rides to a inner city location, and sets up for business, with a special hot plate to make fresh wraps.

  9. First ride after tube replacement went well. I checked all the tire pressures. I knew some would need it because I checked the good front tire yesterday and it was down. And then my mini-compressor needed charging again before I could get to the desired pressure. But the one installed yesterday and pumped by hand by the mech was a bit low as well, and the rear one needed more.

    Hard as rocks ride (I wish I could have afforded full suspension), but no flats!

  10. @JillsJoy Thanks. If you can see my reply to my toot, I made an update from Schwalbe, who made that very suggestion!

    So if I can source it where I am, I'll be getting that put in. #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #CargoBike #Recumbent

  11. @ascentale From the answer, it sounded to me like speed/acceleration is a factor. That is, motorization makes it so the rim can go faster than the tube is going unless you create more friction that grabs the tube. #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #CargoBike #Recumbent

  12. OK, here's an update from Schwalbe US (where I had previously made a contact so I had an email).

    They offered to make good on it even though they are saying this is something common on many tubes with e-cycles.

  13. Got a question, but I suspect tonight's #BikeNite queue is full and I need an answer quicker than next week:

    If you ride your cycle ~ every other day, how often should you be checking your tire pressure?

  14. @ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1: Posting from Zurich, Switzerland after a hiatus of several BikeNites, mostly due to being tired on Fridays and busy on the weekends.

    My GF has a #Chike #cargobike she bought as car replacement but doesn't use it much. And since I know I can ride my #Brompton Electric G-Line with studded tires all winter and not just on snowy or icy days, my Mr. #Winterbrompton kinda got unemployed. And I have an old foldable bike trailer I dislike for its hitch.

  16. Small win of the week: our new family cargo bike went over 500km of road, pavement, gravel, dirt and grass in 2.5 months!

  17. Well, that’s one of the #UrbanArrowAdventures I was hoping not to have to have. At least, as I just discovered, my AA Roadservice membership covers moving e-bikes in need of repair!

  18. How do you package a #Bakfiets? Very slowly and very painfully, especially if your office/shop/showroom is on the first floor. This one’s currently travelling to a customer in Croatia.

    Fun fact: most of the packaging material I used was recycled from whatever other packages I’ve received. The only exception are two rolls of cling film (I had to start the second as the first one’s got stuck), some sellotape and a bunch of cable ties.

  19. Aux Pays-Bas, la fondation Safe #CargoBike Foundation demande aux propriétaires de #VeloCargo #Babboe de lui donner procuration pour défendre leurs intérêts si #accell la maison mère, venait à faire faillite.

  20. We're not saying these pictures are connected, but they are from the same cargo bike

  21. Fuer die, die zuerst einen #Anhaenger hatten: Nach der Anschaffung des Lastenrads nutze ich den #Fahrradanhaenger:

    For those, who first hat a #biketrailer: After buying a #cargobike I use the #trailer:

  22. Hast Du auch ein #Lastenrad und nutzt den Anhaenger gemeinsam mit dem Anhaenger oder abwechselnd?

    Do you also own a #Cargobike and use it together with the #biketrailer or alternating?

  24. Gestern Abend nach Feierabend noch zur #CycleWeek #rausgeschafft. Viele interessante Sachen und Stände, die ich mit Fragen nerven könnte, gesehen. Die meisten Stände waren aber schon zu oder grade am zumachen. Trotzdem noch einige nette Gespräche gehabt, u.a. beim #Cargobike-Hersteller #SuperMighty mit ihrem #Lastenrad-#Laufrad.

    Im Anschluss dann noch bei der #CriticalMass #Zürich mitgefahren. Ging bis nach 23 Uhr. Bin zuhause platt und in Klamotten ins Bett gefallen.

  25. The artistic participative Shelter Construction Site of the "Gestaltung" masters project "Common Shelter" started successfully!
    -> Next building days are the 16th and 17th may 2026!

    You may join us on a bike, too: "From the art hall to the art construction site" -> Meeting point is friday 15th may 2026 16:00 at the "Thinker" in front of the "Kunsthalle Bielefeld". One way is about 25 km. If you like to build with us, please send a mail to shelter[@]apgw.de or say hello here in the fediverse for details.

    If you just like to ride the bike with us, then no announcement neccessary. If you ride with us AND have cargobike or big biketrailer capacity (aleXargo etc), please contact us: A bike company from Bielefeld told me today that we can re-use good, long wooden trash-planks from them!

    Look back:
    From 2nd to 4th of may 2026 we made a good start, thanks to the well trained and powerfull co-artists. More in the construction diary on the website: shelter.apgw.de/#2026_05_02

  26. Plan électrification : les #VeloCargo #cargobike demandent à participer aux débats

    "Nous n'avons pas été invités aux travaux en cours ... sur l'électrification des transports alors que nous faisons partie de la solution, aussi bien pour décarboner les livraisons de centre-ville ..., que pour muscler une filière de souveraineté industrielle" a déclaré Yolaine Urvoy, présidente de l'association les Boites à Vélo (350 entreprises - 10.000 emplois dans la cyclologistique).

  27. Welcome to th 6th #ShelterChallenge wednesday update:

    This time I write about a spontaneous informative shelter building performance at the Transition Town seedmarket and about free to lend cargobikes in Bielefeld...

    I am contacting possible cooperation partners and present my masters project "Common Shelter" at local events. I reached one milestone: I successfully completed all necessary seminars at HSBI to start my last semester: From may 2026 I want to have a public shelter construction site as part of my masters project and i want to build real shelters. At the "Transition Town" Bielefeld seedmarket on march the 1st I started small:

    I build a shelter model from recycled wood sticks (as shown on the image) and later put it on my info table. There was also a big Infosheet, flyers and a small 3D printed shelter model my lecturer Prof. Edith Kollath gave me as a gift. I had good talks with visitors and people working at the seedmarket that was organized by "Transition Town" Bielefeld.

    "Transition Town" is a multicountry initiative for climatefriendly energy and local transformation. In Bielefeld it initiated repair cafés, community gardens and free cargobikes. At their infotable i found an interesting postcard about "Fleet Bielefeld" (in german "Flotte"):

    "Free cargo and transportbikes in Bielefeld. Cargobikes, parallel tandem, riksha – the Flotte Bielefeld counts 17 bikes and one folding bike. They are free to use (donation appreciated) – use not own. The Flotte Bielefeld is a network of different cargobike projects and together working for the transformation of traffic." (my translation)

    Cooperating initiatives are #ADFC, #AWO Sattelbar, Transition Town und #VCD OWL. All information on how to use and get the bikes is on flotte-bielefeld.de . A map with all bikes is here: flotte-bielefeld.de/#osm-stand

    One of my artistic ideas for the shelter construction site is that we together search resources for building and possibly use the free cargobikes to get them... e.g. gifted stones for the shelter legs and old pallets for the sleeping area.

    See you soon!

  28. Help !

    Demain j'ai un marché de créateur·rice·s à 2km de chez moi.

    Du coup j'ai loué un vélo cargo pour transporter mes présentoirs, mes créations et... ma table ! (Dans l'énorme housse sur les photos)

    Sauf que je ne vois pas comment je pourrais transporter la table 😬

    Elle fait 1m60 de long dans sa housse et pèse 15kg.

    Je pèse 53kg toute mouillée, impossible pour moi de conduire le vélo avec 30kg dans la caisse et la table en travers au-dessus (perpendiculaire au vélo), trop instable avec le poids sur les côtés. En plus je serais beaucoup trop large et devrais rouler sur la route sur tout le long du chemin (certes pas long, mais suffisant pour me faire mettre en danger par des automobilistes pressé·e·s).

    Je voulais la mettre en longueur au-dessus de la caisse, mais si je laisse l'espace suffisant pour pouvoir tourner le guidon, + de la moitié de la longueur de la table dépasse dans la vide, à l'avant de la caisse (le dessus de la caisse est qui plus est un peu penché vers l'avant).
    Du coup faudrait que je sangle super bien la table pour qu'elle tienne et ne glisse pas vers l'avant... (sur la dernière photo, je tiens le bout de la table qui est vers l'arrière du vélo, sinon elle bascule).

    Des idées de comment bien l'attacher ?
    Ou d'autres idées de comment la transporter ?

    J'ai une remorque, mais elle est trop petite, la table ne rentre qu'à un tiers, c'est pas une option...

    Au début je me disais qu'au pire je ferai 2 allers retours, pas grave.

    Mais là, même avec la caisse vide je ne vois pas comment ramener ma table 😅

  29. J'ADORE mon cargo !
    Mais il y a un truc que je trouve pas pratique : je n'ai pas d'appui à l'avant pour poser un truc long. Pire : ça s'appuie sur la direction, c'est pas stable et ça fait une résistance pour tourner.

    Je voulais donc fabriquer un petit truc que je mettrais à l'avant qui pourrait me servir d'appui.

    Un collègue cherchait un truc à bricoler aujourd'hui et m'a proposé qu'on réfléchisse à une solution ensemble. Et voilà ce qu'on a trouvé !

    J'ai pas encore pu l'essayer, mais ça a l'air bien pratique. En plus, je peux le mettre et l'enlever hyper facilement, et ça tient très bien tout seul sans fixation. Parfait ! Je suis trop contente et j'ai hâte de l'essayer pour faire du #carryshitolympics !!

  30. 2025 was a great year for us at Keert, check out our latest blog post for more information and see you this year! keert.uk/blog/2025-wr... Remember, if you need help moving things without costing the earth, do get in touch via email or DM #2025Wrapped #ouryearinpictures #cargobike #IsleOfWight

  31. Started moving instruments today. One load of saxophones - I'd rather expected the baritone and its bulky case to be pretty much a load by itself. But it, three altos, three stands, and a case full of accessories all packed nicely into a single trip, along with a couple boxes.

  32. I’m thinking about putting a larger chainring on my #LarryVsHarry #cargoBike. It has a 36T (and a smaller one; it’s a 2x). The smallest cog is 11T, giving me a max ratio of 3.3. Maybe I should try 38, 39, or 40T.

  33. Between the flies and the dandelion seeds? Florets? It was not an evening to leave your mouth open on the bike 😂

  34. We use different cargo bikes for different work, picking the most efficient solution for the job at hand Because it would be ridiculous to use a sledgehammer (truck) to crack a nut (deliver a small parcel to a residential address) #CargoBike #IsleOfWight #LarryVsHarry #Yuba

  35. Während dem Warten auf die Montage des neuen Hinterreifen am Brompton bin ich nebenan bei #FlincCycles flinccycles.com/de deren 20" #Cargobike probegefahren. Gefällt sehr, nur ist der Lenker (in der höchsten Position wegen meiner 10% kürzeren Arme) bei 20kg Last vorne drauf dann doch recht am wobbeln, vor allem beim einhändig Abbiegen. Aber ansonsten ist's auch mit Beladung angenehm flink mit der 11-Gang #Alfine.

    Und die Baustellenabsperrungen vor dem Laden stimmten mit "WELO" auch fast.

  36. Cracking day for a quick clean of the cargo bike.

    It does need a proper service which will be done next weekend

    #cargobike #larryVsHarry #bullittbike

  37. Found a used #LarryVsHarry #Bullitt (actually the extended BullittX version) #CargoBike for sale online set up for level 2 EV charging. Apparently can be charged in 7 minutes!

    Resisting temptation.

  38. Diese Woche bin ich endlich mal wieder bei einer #Antritt Episode dabei gewesen. Wir sprechen darin aus verschiedenen Perspektiven über Lastenräder: Einmal über Vandalismus mit zerstochenen Reifen, demontierten Teilen und fliegenden Bierflaschen in München und einmal über einen saitenwechselnden Musiker im Lastenrad auf einer Critical Mass in Karlsruhe.
