I replaced a 2nd car with an #xtracycle edgeRunner #eBikes a decade ago, can confirm, 1000 miles/yr by bike replaced 3k miles/yr by car. All you have to do is question whether every sub-3-mile trip is worth scorching the planet and giving money to dickhead billionaires, or maybe wear a hat and put on some socks. #cargoBikes #LeaveTheCarAtHome #ClimateAction #parenting

Practical problem with maintaining long-tail cargo bikes: They need a longer than regular chain. Easiest obtained by just adding two regular chains. I was smart enough to keeping the non-needed part of the second chain. But not smart enough to buy three chains from the beginning. 🤦

So I guess I have to look for the exact model of chain that I've got a half-chain already now...

I have 3 #CargoBikes, and each one has a nice solid kid-capable kickstand with rubber chair tips on the end. Of course, each one also takes a different-sized chair tip. As this is essentially a consumable part (the rubber wears down over time), I have to have a supply of 3 different sized chair tips: 3/4" , 1", and 1-1/8". 🥴

Außerdem habe ich rausgefunden, dass die drei #Lastenräder mit den altrosa Kisten vorne drauf wohl alle von #FlincCycles (flinccycles.com/de) aus #Zürich sind — wo auch die #Velodemo war, an der das Bild entstanden ist.
