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.
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)
You should cross-post this to !brompton@discuss.tchncs.de ;)
Yo dawg, I heard you like bikes…
Hey now, we all love bikes, but no need for the drive-by on walking.
