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

@ascentale @skyfaller 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 . 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.

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.

@ascentale @bikenut@mastodon.social 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 FR8 has a front frame mounted rack with a big crate on it. Most bikes here have rear rack mounted baskets.

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

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).
