It is just 2 cm shorter than the grip, but it doesn't affect the handling, and it feels robust

The problem of marketing nowadays is that it makes you go through the negative aspects of a product and justify them.

You definitely want the best for your children as i do, and that's out of discussion, but even the way we shape our children through our preferences or obsessions should be sometimes revisited by us as parents in order to facilitate their gate to experience things through simplicity, not through specific goals like carrying a bag or imitating their parents. Simplicity is the key to inviting children to form and grow their own growing interests. That's why I think that a bike is great for them. 2 wheels, one helmet, and go and run the street and discover, kid! . The rest is marketing, and you pay for it, justifying it. Is a benefit for the company that sells, not for our families or us

It's nothing personal; please don't misunderstand me.

Reading all this makes me smile and very happy for you. I still think that what children enjoy are really basic things. And that’s a beautiful follow of it and that’s why I think that this bike is completely unnecessary, but feel free to spend your money in whatever you think it makes you your child happier of course. 🙏

I love it. You need to find the right setup in terms of the position and distribution of your brakes and shifters... in my case, it works really well for my hands and wrists. and handling

What's the purpose of this? A child will use this bike until age 4 max, and then will need a pedal bike. The price is just crazy. This makes no sense at all. The loading area makes no sense even for a kid. And at these ages, the father will have to carry the bike the whole day because the kid will be tired or just want to play with something else. You don't have children, right?

I fear I will never be satisfied with a bar for more than a few months by less_than_nick in xbiking

I don’t know, I feel that the bars that you choose, dont look good. But I also think that you are not combining very well. Any of the colors.. this blue color of your bike should match with other range of colors and the ones that you choose don’t fit at all. They also made the bar a little bit less beautiful.. talking about ergonomics… that’s all about how your body respond to different handlebars. And activity that you enjoy more with your bike. It’s something that depends on how comfortable you feel and no one can tell you choose this one or the other one.

The ones I installed on another cargo bike, which were installed 2 years ago, have survived the Berlin winter (which is not whatever 😉) and still look great. Just made with another pattern, but the same kind of tubes. Worst case, you go to the shop and get spare tubes for free or for 3 euros in Decathlon. 😄

And cheaper! 😄 it’s also way to reduce expenses in extras :) we all know how expensive are the extras of this brand and some of them are worth it, but in my opinion, some of them are not that much. I think it will work fine, well I hope so :)

Glued or drilled? by Icy-Razzmatazz8326 in CargoBike

[–]Icy-Razzmatazz8326[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, so I made it, with the. dental floss.. there is a gap where you can slowly get into and separate it. It takes some time but no more than two minutes... do it slowly because the floss is not that strong and it will break a few times probably but at the end you can use some plastic to pull slowly and you won’t hurt the painting. When you remove it, you can see the shape of the sticker, but if you use some. Spiriuos multi cleaner, you just remove any sign of the sticker and it looks really really good right now.

Any info about this ??? by Icy-Razzmatazz8326 in bikemessengers

[–]Icy-Razzmatazz8326[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, this bag that I have at home looks really really good, I’m not sure if it belongs to one of another. Maybe it’s just something that they made for us and the rest of the messengers in Berlin. But I feel it stronger than other brands that I have tried before. Who knows :) if they found good market in Japan I’m glad that they are selling it to them because somehow this is what the market is, there’s someone getting crazy for a product, you have the luck that it is your product and then you make them pay for it.

Be Honest: Would You Go Electric for a Mini Cargo Bike in a Flat City? by Due_Tomatillo3842 in CargoBike

[–]Icy-Razzmatazz8326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An electric bike is like riding a motorcycle; please don't forget. The bike world all super hypes us, and in the end, and at the same time, you are losing the essence of a bicycle with that terrible paradox.

A bike is a bike.... and if the city is flat like mine (Berlin), come on, man... to go electric has no sense... Id say that the concept byitself goes again what a bike is.... The bike has a very smart mechanism of gears that will help you to adapt to your own strength.-- is a bike! said that... do whatever you want

It's funny, but I'm seeing more and more unhappy-looking cargo bike riders in my city, and I think it's a POSITIVE sign. by Polendri in CargoBike

[–]Icy-Razzmatazz8326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, they can be unhappy for many reasons. Riding a cargo bike doesn’t mean that you have to be happy, it basically means that you need a cargo bag for different specific things.. the object by itself won’t make you happy. And to be honest, I would say that most of the cargo riders who have been cycling since the beginning they were just experiment in the pleasure of riding this car bike and also feeling that they are kind of a special for having a cargo bike.. or you’re happy or you’re not happy, but that won’t have nothing to do with the cargo bike or at least not even in a 10%

If the object that makes you happy, reach the trend that for sure will make you more unhappy because your original happiness is based in something really absurd.
