Or you can take the one off mine and replace when finished. Miggy_magic made it looks very easy when he did it - it just threads through the back wheel/axle thingie.</p> <p>As we know from previous threads, the Bike Station has one in theory, but it proves impossible to borrow/trial. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1610#post-15569 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:22:10 +0000 steveo 15569@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is a box bike on ebay in Edinburgh, they want at least grand for it but maybe you could take it for test ride.</p> <p>Failing that did any one ever get round to finishing their trailers? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1610#post-15555 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 12:01:25 +0000 Kim 15555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>anyone know where I can borrow/hire a cargo bike in Edinburgh? I have to fetch a <a href="http://to.ly/7Muw">pumpkin from the allotment</a>. </p>
