That is kind of where I landed as well - so now I just use some bungees on my rear rack and it's...fine.

I use bungees to attach it to my rear rack and let the other wheel roll behind me. There's also this bag, which is super neat: https://bunchbike.com/en-ca/products/bakkie-pannier-bag?srsltid=AfmBOoqxbcyMF0XAM89fe9YvUY98eXrfwtniT-ZVhbO-XQktG0RLKKCs

The front fork is definitely appealing, but we have a 2023 UA, so unlikely that it's something that we'd go for in 2 years (kids are 3 and 6, so we're in the sweet spot of a bakfiets IMO). The biggest thing might be that mousehole placement though. I am constantly cursing their placement when we...

ooo that's a good idea - & my issue with the mount that I have is that the brake cables etc get in the way so I'm limited in how I can angle it...this would solve that. hmmmm

This is my problem too. All winter, we ride with the rain cover cuz we get pretty brutal wind chill (I think we've averaged below -15C for the last 18 days). I have mine mounted on my handlebars with an extendable selfie stick. It works ok...but...I wish I could mount it a bit nicer. My...

Thanks Arleigh! I love that idea!

We started riding with six when she was 9 or 10 months old using a thule ridealong on the back of my 90s mountain bike (1999 Kona Hahanna ). That bike had been my commuter for years to that point. In 2020, my grandma gave me part of my inheritance early so I used it to buy a new Norco Search...

I got them for Christmas from my husband (he picked them up at BikeBike YYC)! Haven't used them yet, but very excited. Thanks for bringing them in, Sean!

As Sean suggested, maybe we want to move over here for planning our cargo bike meet-ups!

I started reading all this and was like "agree, agree, agree" & THEN looked at the username and was like, well duh, it's Sarah! lol. All of your points are great - I would your point that you posted later on about an LBS that can service it being very clutch. It's definitely up there with...

Hi All! My name is Alanna and our family of 4 traded our second car for an Urban Arrow in the fall of 2023. My husband still needs a car for work and we often visit my parents in rural BC, as well as his family in the far suburbs of Calgary. I replaced most of my car trips with bike trips...

So cool to hear about a family that lives there. I only learned about Culdesac last winter when we were planning a girls trip to PHX and ended up booking an airbnb in Tempe. We went for dinner at Cocina Chiwas (which we loved) and then wandered around the neighbourhood in the evening afterwards...
