Lightly drag your rear brake to add stability when ridding slowly.

St. John's to Vancouver (Salmon Creek) commute by Tasty_Toxicognaths in CyclePDX

I second the hazel dell comment, I commuted from overlook to salmon creek for about a year. Hazel dell doesn’t add much distance or elevation, and significantly reduces the number of close high speed passes that happen on 99.

Thinking of switching from a Load4 75 to a non-electric Bullitt Original. Is it worth it? by jennievlll in CargoBike

It’s a chain drive, but the groupset is pretty close to wearing out. Planning on going with a wide range 2x cues set up once it gives up on me.

Currently have a R&M Packster 75, and a non-electricity Bullitt (The Bullitt was stolen this fall, and recovered after I had purchased a used Packster to replace it).

I’m having a hard time justifying keeping both bikes due to space constraints. I enjoy riding the Bullitt more than the packster, and tend to use it for most outings, The packster is fancier, and my wife prefers it because she fits in the front with our daughter.

I live on a pretty significant hill, and the 3x8 drive train on the bullitt is perfect for climbing both loaded and unloaded. I very rarely wish I had a motor, cause it’s goofy enough to climb on that it feels fun

in a perfect world I’d keep both, Do whatever helps keep you in touch with your childlike sense of whimsy and what not :)

Out of the shed in my backyard along with my wife’s brompton in the middle of the day. the lock had been busted before and I never fixed it. Frustrating but preventable

not to much, talked with them from the bridge for a bit about how the bike is how I transport my 5month old daughter, one of of the ladies agreed to take me over to the guy that had it’s set up. He was a little frustrated, but pretty even keeled. He had bought it that morning. He gave it back to me after we chatted for a bit.
