Nice! I got a Tern attachment that will let me tow a bike by attaching the fork if I take the front wheel off. I’ve had enough occasions where it would have been useful that I finally decided to go for it. But I haven’t put it to use yet.

I’ve been fantasizing about a Brompton for a while. Some day!

Brompton is absolutely a game changer for multimodal transportation if your not taking kids.

My wife and I both have bromptons, and I recently got this very secure, but inexpensive seat post child carrier that works with the brompton. The only problem is it screws on and I cannot lower my seat with it, so it interferes with thr fold a bit. I’m going to experiment with quick release seat post clamps on it, which I think should be quite secure (same company has a similar seat post, it just comes with QR seatpost clamps and is less available and more expensive)

Nice. The feet rest on the cargo bike are slotted bilaterally so I can put a bike in there. I still strap them on a bit when I do for security, and have on done it with kids bikes so far

Hey now, we all love bikes, but no need for the drive-by on walking.

My B. I love walking and actually enjoy it. Just trying to not look like the serf that I actually am.

/s

Funny headline, wanted to be efficient with my time. The world and people that live on it could certainly use more walking.

Nice, what kind of bikes are they? How heavy is the back seat rated on the orange bike? how do you like carrying people on it?

The orange bike is a bike friday haul a day MK4 (Heavy duty of old version, the changed the Haul-a-Day this past year). It’s rated for 520lbs. It carries my kids great. I use a Tern storm shield and storm box on it usually, but I stripped it down for the bike shop.

The folding one is a Brompton M6R. Love it. Best thing for multi modal transport.
