I am a big fan of the long john style of cargo bike - I currently have two although I am trying sell one at the moment - a Bakfiets which is designed exactly for the sort of journeys you are talking about. Other similar makes would be Baboe, Gazelle Cabby and Urban Arrow. That last one is a dedicate...

I have used a Bakfiets Long for about 4 years now for taking my daughter places and doing the shopping. Also good for taking stuff to household waste recycling centre. I got this new for £2,250 delivered from Kids and Family Cycles. It is unassisted so a bit slow going up hills, but otherwise no iss...

With the quad that I have it might be that the cargo area at the back is big enough for your pig without need ing the trailer It's a very big piggy bank. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DGfAqo7XYAEtC_s.jpg Yeah, Rosie sent me a picture after I got in touch by e-mail with a picture of my 'bent quad. It'...

Perhaps it would be worth looking at a Circe Morpheus tandem? For electric assist, I'd recommend a crank drive system like the Sunstar SO3

It's going to vary depending on the hotel/b and b. Some hotels will have a secure garage - I once stayed at the Adelphi in Liverpool and they kept my bike in their garage. I once went to a convention on my Ice Trike and the hotel let me bring it inside and keep it under some stairs. There wer actual...

is this the pig thing posted in 'does anyone know'? I replied to that with the offer of a recumbent quadricycle cargo carrier - based in Southampton. Otherwise have you tried posting on the British Human Power Club? google BHPC. ICE trikes could also be worth contacting. Thank you so much! I tried ...

Have you already got your trike and trailer sorted and had a go at riding with it? If it's that wide I guess that means it is quite long and high as well - could be an issue with any cross winds. When will you putting up details of this challenge on your website? If you need any help or advice about...

There are just too many bloody loonies out on the roads these - both on bikes and in cars/vans. Last night I was driving along a 30mph stretch and ask my wife 'Is there dirty great magnet in the boot?' as there is a car behind us sitting right on the rear bumper. We get to a 40 limit - before I can ...

I don't suppose this is the reason at all, but it occurs to me that by shipping out the hubs in a stiff to turn state means to end user will more likely notice this and set them correctly. If they were sent out less tight, they would more likely get used as is, which might be a bit too loose.

They are called velomobiles and there are plenty of models available. As the previous post said they are larger and heavier than a conventional bike so not as manouverable and harder to get up hills. On, the flat and downhill they can go faster and as you say you do get weather protection. In warm w...

Your best place to go for advice is probably these guys:- http://www.bhpc.org.uk/ Most of the issues are going to be more of a practical nature - such as turning circle, getting in and out, reversing, overheating (you get very warm inside one), rolling it by taking a corner too fast, getting your li...

I could measure the spacing of the Sheffield stands where I work - and then add a bit more to that as they seem a bit too close together. I have seen people struggling at times just to get ordinary unencumbered bikes in and out. I don't bother with them myself as my bike has a kick stand and nurse l...
