More cargo bike awesomeness!

I just got this pic from Bilenky from the sign painter. It's the metal sign that will be hanging in the center of my cargo bike! I think the painter did an awesome job and it really has that hand-made quality I wanted. I can hardly wait to get the bike! It'll look a lot less hobo than the Xtracycle and chloroplast signs I have now.

Hauling Stuff with a Fixie

My girlfriend needed a few things carried to the LBMA this morning so I got recruited to help her out. I pulled out the Burley Flatbed and loaded it up. The large Rubbermaid and duffle bag just barely fit within the straps on the Burley. I usually take my BikeFriday on runs like this because I need the gears. However, the Long Beach Museum of Art was only a few flat blocks away so I decided to take out the fixie for some cargo duty. It worked fine, though I had to get use to not being able to raise my rear wheel to position my pedals.

Where there's a wheel there's a way.
