  1. Another load of beach bricks! I can only carry about a dozen at a time (around 50 lbs worth). More than that and the bike gets really top-heavy. #reuse #recycle #beachFinds #CapeCod #Workcycles #BikeTooter #quaxing #bricks #CargoBike #beach

  2. Collected some bricks from the beach for a garden project… there’s so much random flotsam that gets revealed at low tide! #noBuy #CargoBike #Workcycles #BikeTooter #Reuse #Recycle #quaxing #BeachFinds #CapeCod

  3. Today is a work day, on the theory that it would be nice to have a couple of those in the month of September, which has been the month from hell

    Goals: write the memo, send the email, read and sign the agreement, contact the person, and do some work on my own project. And be done by 2p to frivol with the family

    I can do this. <hefts extra large #coffee mug>

    See y’all on the flip side! #workcycles

  4. @ascentale @skyfaller #BikeNite A5. I’d go for an antique Raleigh with a Sturmey 3 speed and rim brakes. I have one from the early 1970s that rides like a dream. I love that it has actual bolts - nothing metric anywhere so you don’t need special tools. For a modern city bike, I’d get a Dutch omafiets from #Workcycles. You can pick your drivetrain (but no belt drive yet). They’re incredibly well made with stainless steel everywhere so rust is unlikely to be a problem.

  5. I got hold of this #workcycles #fr8 a few weeks ago. It's great, with some strong reservations. It came with the super upright Dutch bike setup, which was just so uncomfortable, for both my partner and I. This ridiculous setup is much better, even though the bars and box are kinda trying to occupy the same space. It's an absolute slug but a rock solid one.

  6. @Andres4NY My bikes live outdoors year round so I’m used to stuff failing. The charge indicators on the Hailong battery case stopped working about six months ago and I lost a lot of display pixels at about the same time. The only electronics that have survived multiple winters are my Busch + Muller bike lights (I have those on both my #Cetma and #Workcycles bikes). #WinterBiking #WinterCycling

  11. @ascentale @scottsthoughts A6. I have a frame mounted crate on the front of my bike with a cover that I use to carry takeout and groceries. Our streets are potholed so I weave around them. (Ignore the awful bike parking in the photo. I’m trying to get them to fix it.) #BikeNite #Workcycles #CargoBike

  12. @ascentale @MartyCormack #BikeNite A6. I’ve been searching for an upright bakfiets with a lockable cargo box. Since I’m in the US, these are nigh impossible to find. I don’t think they still make this, but I’d love and electric #Workcycles KR8 delivery bike like this: flic.kr/p/RnfYT8

  13. @ascentale @bikenut A4: I love front baskets that are attached to the frame. If they’re attached to the handlebars, they are awful for steering if you actually try to put anything in it. My #Workcycles FR8 has a front frame mounted rack with a big crate on it. Most bikes here have rear rack mounted baskets. #BikeNite

  14. After riding 300 miles on the #Cetma to break in the #Tongsheng motor, I’ve switched back to my #Workcycles FR8 for everyday rides. The difference in comfort is astounding - the FR8 rolls along on a cushion of air. And being fully upright again means my wrists and shoulders are suddenly much, much happier. #BikeTooter #CargoBike #ebike

  15. These custom color WorkCycles Fr8s are read to hit the Big Apple. Merry e-bike Christmas to all those celebrating!

    Colors: Signal Red (RAL3001) with Signal White rims (RAL9003) and Pure Green (RAL6037) with Traffic Yellow rims (RAL1023) and black fenders (RAL9005). #bikeNYC #workcycles

  16. Zipping past queues of city traffic on a nice bike using dedicated cycle lanes.
    Nothing quite like it.
    I ❤️my bike, which is a proper workhorse and a lush smooth ride.
    Carries my shopping, my kids, & even the odd grown-ass adult every now and then.

  17. Comme ce type de vélo est à vocation familiale avant tout et que la maman a également roulé avec, voici son point de vue :

    Il est très bien ce vélo et je serai prête à l'échanger contre mon #workcycles FR8 si la position du cadenas ancre était améliorée ainsi que la gestion du couple moteur (à puissance maxi, il fait un peu le yoyo).
