Looking for a Cargo Bike


Recommended Posts

If anyone comes across something like this, I'd be real interested in buying one:

Looking for the 2 wheel version, not the 3-wheel version. Saw a bunch in France but when I got home and started googling it, they appear to be several thousand. Looking for one that is gathering dust and needs to be disposed of; perfectly happy if it has not been tuned up in a while. For a few hundred I'd be willing to take it on as a project. Looking for both a dog carrier and maybe even groceries as I use my car less in retirement.

I have a trailer already (see below). Dog is not wild about it. My wife also takes him in her basket, but not for long distances. A cargo bike would solve that and give me the ability to haul things like groceries. I guess I could use the dog bike for that...

That's a happy lookin' dog.

Get one of those seats that goes on the top tube right behind your bars.  That would put him where you can see him and not make him subject to the results of the 'gassy' beers.  Also doesn't take up much room if you take it off and use the bike for other purposes.

If you're hauling a couple of wiggly kids and some groceries, I can see that European looking wheelbarrow bike being really nice.  It just looks like it would take up a ton of space and not work well with your wall hanger gadget.

I got a beautiful, lugged steel frame road bike from Bilenky. They also build bikes like what you're looking for.

Yeah, those look nice. But at $2K+ for the frame, outside of my ballpark. Hoping to stumble over something under $500 (and assuming it needs a lot of work).
