Cheers Velo, I think
Clubby, that is great that you guys are out there ripping it up
Just like a normal dad, only way cooler
The trailers soon become just second nature to allow for them, and despite the high entry price for any cargo bike, let alone an e bike along with the accessories, there is a huge secondhand market for them and the price is reflected by this.
You do realise that the Scottish government will give interest free loans for cargo bikes and more for e cargo bikes. I think it is around three thousand for normal and around four or five for electric over three to five years. I can dig out the details if you want it. I was looking at selling the Dummy and buying a Bullitt frame and box panels which was still a couple of thousand but I could sell my Dummy and bits and pieces and use the loan for the initial purchase. It just sort of brings it into a much more affordable scenario.
There is a couple of facebook pages that are great for cycling with kids, family cycling UK, cycling with children, cargo bike kids etc and they are really good helpful communities and what I really like is they aren't like cycle sites, they are just people who love riding with their kids, so no macho testosterone, bike bling type stuff. really nice.
Anyway, glad the first foray was a success and that's it now, it just get more fun as they grow.
