You could search the #CarryShitOlympics posts to see who uses the same or similar bikes.

I remember that especially cargo bikes are now seen as a business opportunity by companies that come from outside classical #bicycle production .Many producers/brands have been bought up by one or two big investors. The crisis with the #Babboe cargo bikes (~recalls due to broken frames) was one of the results of this "market consolidation".

Good luck finding a cargo bike that works for you!

Today's expedition was to buy some second hand plastic drums. They're surprisingly cheap, watertight and can be taped to make them airtight, and awesome for storing bulk food in. Also prettylightweight, so while that load looks big it's under 100kg.

There's one in the bin on the bike but when I tried a couple on top it got hard to see they were hard to secure so I lashed them to the trailer instead.

Heute war wieder bestes #carryshitolympics Wetter! Gleich eine #fahrradlogistik Runde gedreht!
240 cm langen RS-Regalständer zum Sohn, nicht mehr benötigte Bücher u. Kückengeräte zum Tierheim-Flohmarkt an der Dingstiege gebracht u. dann beim Baumarkt meines vertrauens 2 Buchenleimholzplatten, 18 mm dick, 60 cm breit u. 240 cm lang für ein #Bastelprojekt abgeholt. Länge läuft, kein schlenkern, anschließend hatte ich 15,5 km auf dem Tascho.
