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>
