Cargo bikes are a huge investment therefore I want to make sure I'm getting the right one for me. I have tried out an Urban Arrow and will be trying out a Nihola soon. Does anyone have any other cargo bikes in Edinburgh that wouldn't mind me having a go on them? I'm keen to try a bakfiets cargo bike short.<br /> Also if anyone has a cargo bike and kids and have any tips for me that would be great too!<br /> My daughter and I will hopefully be going to POP so maybe we can chat to some cargo bike users there!<br /> Thanks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11152#post-125153 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:08:39 +0000 WalkerCycler 125153@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am looking to borrow or hire a cargo bike to use to create a quirky mobile stall in the independence rally this Saturday (21st Sept) - do you have one that you would loan out, (or know of sympathetic person that has)?</p> <p>The stall will be selling t-shirts that are part of the T-Shirt Uprising (tshirtuprising.com) and generally creating a commotion!</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Fergus Walker </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6911#post-73021 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 17:06:12 +0000 cc 73021@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>At work we occasionally need to shift large computers from one computer room to another. The computers can be pretty big and heavy, and some of our computer rooms are a couple of miles apart, so this gets a little tricky.</p> <p>Our old van went to the scrappy some years ago and won't be replaced, so we've been wondering how we should shift the computers in future: taxi? hire a van? City Car Club? But I thought, wouldn't it be great if we could hire a cargo bike or a large trailer when needed, and shift the computers by bike! </p> <p>Some details: the computer boxes can be pretty big - the latest are roughly 90x60x30cm, with stickers saying "WARNING &gt;30kg". The computers - rack-mounted servers for the most part - are also kind of delicate and they're worth a bit too, so delivery by a third party would get the thumbs down, it'd have to be us doing it ourselves.</p> <p>I'm just exploring ideas here, but, for instance, can anyone recommend a trailer that'd be big and strong enough? And Kim, what about your <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1649">Cargo Bike Club</a>? </p>
