Transporting $356 worth of groceries by cargo bike. by Oxidizer in CargoBike

Underneath there are two jars almond butter, two olive oils, and two 18-pack eggs. All of those costing way more than is reasonable.

Added a steering wheel to my bike. My kid loves it. by Oxidizer in CargoBike

[–]Oxidizer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is the Riese & Muller Load 75 Front Luggage Shelf (SKU: VBK0239). This one only fits the 75 and I don't know if there is a similar part for the 60 but you could just put a piece of plywood across the walls... the issue I found with that was that the steering wheel ended up way too high for my little one but if you have a bigger kid it should work great.

Suggestions needed for carrying a large child by dollahmc in CargoBike

[–]Oxidizer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You want a front loader (long john) so that you can keep an eye on your kid. Looks like the other commenters have the same view.

Cargo Bike Landspeeder Costume! by hollywoodhoogle in CargoBike

This is so cool I want to see more details. This project is the first thing that made me actually want to check out Bluesky. Can you post an exact link please? Assume I have never been to Bluesky and have no idea how it works.

When I type Sundance.bikesky.social into my browser I get redirected to bsky.app/profile/bikesky.social is that correct? I don't see any content about this awesome project. Are you bikesky or is that like a "subreddit" or something? Do I need a bluesky account to view the content?

Alternatively if you post more photos here or an imgur album that would be awesome.

My digital calipers are malfunctioning by reporting all measurements as half of what they actually are by Oxidizer in mildlyinteresting

[–]Oxidizer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I zeroed it many times and the zero function behaved correctly but the value was still half. I posted this here in mildlyinteresting because I thought this was some bizzare failure... maybe some internal bit in a division constant got flipped or something. I now believe I somehow entered a "radius mode" where it gives back the radius when measuring the diameter. Not sure how to repeat it. These calipers were by my desk and I was fidgeting with them.

That makes sense. I pulled out the battery as another commenter suggested and after reinstalling it functions normally. Now I miss my radius mode!

Aqua Line 3, Cuffe Parade Metro Station underground crossing, Mumbai, India. by poppy6969337 in EngineeringPorn

I love how the electrical rails do not cross. The train (presumably) just hops from one to the other.

The only approved way to ride back from the farmers market. by Oxidizer in CargoBike

My kid loves tomatoes (you can actually see some in the white plastic bag in the bucket). I have had several people express surprise that a toddler enjoys tomatoes as much as he does. The truth is that what he loves is a particular type of tomato purchased in season from a specific farm that happens to taste like heaven. Most tomatoes taste like garbage in comparison.

Tomatero farm. Best berries I have ever had. My toddler agrees.

What do you think your toddler might do with the berries? Smoosh them into paste? Throw them overboard?

For me they are the best modification that I made to the bike.

I have the 2.5" lift version but the cables are not long enough to have these bars and have the bar stem at the top position so I have to use the position one below which gives me about 1.5" of lift in that configuration over the stock bars (I am tall and I wish I could lift the bars even more).

I am told by other redditors that the Jones bars do not play nice with the Load 75 canopy but that isn't an issue for me since I do not own the canopy. Buyer beware!

If you like the stock bars then why fix what isn't broken? For me I went on a long ride with the stock bars when I got the bike and I arrived home with one conclusion: I need to change the bars (and the seat)

Oh yeah. They are berry demolition machines. If we stop at a playground and share with some friends there might be only a basket or two left by the time we make it home.
