Suppose it could have box fixed to it to be more bakfiets like. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=861#post-7601 Thu, 27 May 2010 12:47:10 +0000 Arellcat 7601@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I rather fancied commuting by Powerisers, but they (a) are not quite in keeping with Bike Week, and (b) would probably kill me.</p> <p>For BW I could cycle something different, like a bike with knobbly tyres! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=861#post-7583 Thu, 27 May 2010 10:59:17 +0000 spytfyre 7583@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@miggy_magic - lol<br /> @Laidback - I'd love you rent a cargo bike to prove the shopping can be done all in one go by bike </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=861#post-7579 Thu, 27 May 2010 10:44:02 +0000 miggy_magic 7579@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Unicycle for me!</p> <p>Well, we just had a whip round in the office and there are now two unicycles here. (35 quid in Lidl today).</p> <p>Lunchtime should be fun. If you hear the sound of ambulances near Leith Links, they could be for us. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=861#post-7573 Thu, 27 May 2010 10:17:56 +0000 Kim 7573@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Or a recumbent? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=861#post-7568 Thu, 27 May 2010 08:39:47 +0000 Dave 7568@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Go for it... you know you want to!</p> <p>Everybody should try riding a strange bike in rush hour, it's a very liberating experience to be treated like you actually have a width dimension :D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=861#post-7555 Wed, 26 May 2010 19:14:24 +0000 LaidBack 7555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just to remind people looking at the forum that I'm happy to rent out a trike or tandem for Bike Week.</p> <p>Sorry can't do for free but either will be at rate of £20 a day which isn't bad for a recumbent with three wheels and full suspension or a bike that carries two people (£10 each!)
