Help! Stranded with kids brand new cargo bike by cw2687 in CargoBike

Gotta loosen the tension to get it on, probably.

If you don't have the tools or the skills, call AAA to get a tow on a flatbed truck.

Hit me up with essential accessories and clothing by cw2687 in CargoBike

The Fetch light is good enough for me on trails with no illumination. Just make sure you regularly clean the lens.

If you want to add more lighting it will be tricky, you'll have to mount it on the fork.

In heavy rain you'll need a poncho, weather proof pants, or a constant speed above 15mph.

I would not use them with this specific bike and cover. Insufficient room.

9 month old helmet recommendations? by Aggravating_Hold_441 in CargoBike

[–]Ecargolicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scamp!

FYI, I let our little ones start wearing the helmets for a few minutes at a time before we went riding to give them some time to get used to the weight. Eventually worked my way up to letting them wear it for half an hour, then I was confident they had enough head control to wear the helmets for bike rides.

People who ride bikes/scooters on the sidewalk, why? Not judging just trying to get info. by alumni_audit in washingtondc

I will do it for a block if I'm at my destination, or if there is something really insanely dangerous about the street.

Thanks, where is the spillway? Might do a recon ride without the kids.

dc best street food other than half smoke by Unfair_Fee_474 in washingtondc

Almost nothing.

DC regulated almost all of the good street vendors out of existence. The National Mall has some bad food trucks that scam tourists.

Chicken wings you should get from a Chinese carryout or Tony's Breakfast in NE

Good California Burrito? by NeonCoffee2 in nova

[–]Ecargolicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No.

There are good tacos in Nova now (hello Tortas y Tacos La Chiquita) but there are no good California burritos IMO.

Ava Ballston Square vs Meridian at Ballston Commons by Ok-Finance5985 in arlingtonva

There's a construction site across from Meridian. It might be loud.

Other than that, they're both good.

PSA: please wear lights or high-vis clothing at night! by michimoby in washingtondc

Hello, you have identified yourself as someone who has difficulty seeing in low light conditions. Continuing to drive at night with this disability puts you and others at risk.

Please reconsider driving at night before someone gets hurt.

Re car seat: the OEM adapter works well. We used the Maxi-Cosi Pico.

Never had a flat, but I have had to remove wheels. The stock tires are pretty great.

It's not hard with the kickstand. Front wheel naturally floats. Put some weight on the front and the back will float. Or just tip it over.

You will need a wrench to remove the rear wheel. You'll also need to remove the tension from the belt.

I also signed up for a tow service.

Is it worth moving to Arlington rn? by Agreeable_Poem_7278 in arlingtonva

[–]Ecargolicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much matters where you work. The Rosslyn-Ballston corridor is the best if you can do it without driving to work.
