Somehow, #Costco was out of carts. I don't know how that happens. There were people waiting at the entrance, trailing other people to their cars to grab their carts.
"No sweat," I told the security people at the store entrance. "I brought my own cart."
Just learned Bikes at Work makes trailers that attach to bikes, one of which is big enough it could carry an Urban Arrow if say, ours broke down on a ride somewhere and we needed to haul it home. That would be a lot easier than needing to immediately go rent a truck...
Anyone have one? Or know of other options I should consider? #BikeTooter#CargoBikes#UrbanArrow
How am I going to get three armloads of groceries from a half mile away without using a 3000lb wagon? I'll have to walk there and back at least twice just to carry it all. Woe is me... suffering. j/k, obvs #CargoBikes exist.
Using cargo bikes: “[…] you end up with a bike I wouldn't want to use for a ride unless I absolutely needed its cargo-carrying capacity. In fact, if all you need is a couple of items, it's probably better to throw on a backpack and take a regular bike to the store. A cargo bike is the first hardware I've tested that really only makes sense as a second bike.”
Anyone else have the issue of the kickstand on the Urban Arrow not being grippy enough and sliding around on some surfaces when you try to take it off the kickstand? I've even had really smooth asphalt be too slippery when wet for instance.
I was thinking of adding some grip tape or something to the bottom like they use on sports equipment, but I was hoping someone had a better suggestion.

Show off your #cargoBikes! Answer questions on hauling kids & large loads #CarryShitOlympics#eBikes
I saw a woman walking along Moody with a full bag of groceries the other night and I really wanted to ride up and ask "have you heard the good news about #cargoBikes?" (as I was on one) and offer a lift, because walking an armload half a mile is tedious. But I didn't 😒
Can everyone on #BikeTooter agree whether we're using the plural form or the singular form for hashtags? Or can Mastodon core give us a feature that enables smooshing hashtags together if one is the plural form of the other?
Die bundesweite #BAFA-Kaufprämie für gewerbliche E-Lastenräder und E-Anhänger kann wieder beantragt werden!
Die Förderung lag seit November wegen der Haushaltskrise auf Eis. Anders als das @bmdv hat das @BMWK bei seinen Radverkehrsmitteln nicht den Rotstift angesetzt. Damit ist auch eine Neuauflage der Bafa-Kaufprämie nach ihrem regulären Auslaufen zu erwarten – inklusive Ausweitung in wichtigen Punkten, für die wir lobbyiert haben.
people are like: "Bikes are nice if you have time, I have to drive my kid to school."
taking my kid to school on #eBikes + #CargoBikes = 8min round-trip 😎
Who has $9k to spend on #cargoBikes and wants to try this? With the #GrinMAC motor and #RegenBraking (in the rear wheel), front suspension, cable steering, should be quite the ride (caveat really steep hills vs 130lb bike with hub motor in 26in wheel, you need to keep some speed up and probably need dual batteries, but you can check on the ebikes.ca motor/trip simulator vs your actual hills.)
