I’m keen to see any pictures you would share 😊Im on 2+2 which works for me with some fairly oversized loads.
Y frame mount works best with a solid axle on vertical dropouts which was what I had. Not sure how well it works with horizontal dropouts or with qr skewers. Apart from that, almost any bike can pull.Would a dedicated cargo cycle put anyone off?
I appear to be at odds with most. I can run 4 + 2(nine foot trailer*), the majority seems to be 2 + 2.
Does the trailer dictate the bike used or is/was it the other way round.
*Bikes at Work trailer.
Yeah i had something like that years ago worked great, even better with a trailer behind lol.I find a Longtail the most versatile, partly because it rides a lot like a "normal" bike.
Think you're brave with un-nickable, i now have a ''normal'' Gazelle with the same kind of lock, but have a extra lock for if i park longer than a few minutes. and not without reason came back to my bike a few weeks ago with all my wheel nuts loose, they tied to steal my rear wheel.(Nexus 7 internal gear hub often mistaken for an electric engine.)A Bakfiets is heavy, but has many advantages, like the fact that a 30+ kilo bike makes a good bike rack for all the others, and in a non-cycling city, pretty much un-nickable so the inbuilt lock suffices which is very convenient.
I find either preferable to trailers because they take up remarkably little storage space and I don't have to worry about hitching them; just get on and go. By the same token if I'm out on the Longtail spontaneous errands are simple because extra capacity is already there.
