@HayiWena ๐ aw, shucks, that old thing? ๐ I got the regen braking motor for a 2nd motor on the #umbrellaBike, but 2/3 passengers were a "very No" on riding in the front bucket/canopy, so I scrounged this #bikeFriday up off of craigslist and gave it that #GrinMAC so it wouldn't burn through rims [โฆ]
Cargo bike with rain canopy, filled with groceries, rain, stroad, lighter traffic than on a nice day, no leaves on the trees yet, grey sky, no mountain.

No. I even got slightly damp.

Kid asks why I brought a bike today (usually would ride the bus home.)
Cargo bike with chips and rain cover, not raining here at that moment, stroad, cars, cars, cars, cold grey sky, no mountain.

no. And my sunglasses got wet, but the #umbrellaBike had me mostly covered from riding through the mist, no rain cape, dry shoes. Feeling silly using such a large vehicle for [โฆ]

A woman outside the hardware store was asking about the #UmbrellaBike's canopy before she realized it was a cargo bike. I think somebody needs to make a pop-out canopy for a fixed front rack of a city bike / cycletruck. Given enough fenders, mudflap, and faring over a bit of cargo space, you [โฆ]
Battery and controller laying inside cargo bike, front wheel is spinning.
Sometimes you just need to plug everything together and see it spin.
Next step in the #umbrellaBike #eBikes project. #bikeTooter #bikeNite A8
Cargo bike on its kickstand on two small folding step stools. The back wheel is on the ground and the front is up.
Such a hassle, you need special tools and a lift to work on anything under the hood of #EVs
I had to spend dozens of dollars to get this thing in the air.

Cargo bike loaded with groceries under an awning in the rain, poncho on the handlebars and rain cover still open. No other customers in the pickup area. No mountain.

No. โ
It amuses me that people say they can't bike because of weather but there are always more drivers on sunny days. #umbrellaBike #leaveTheCarAtHome #cargoBikes #climateAction #eBikes
Cargo bike in spot 1, two cars in 3, 4. A few red leaves still clinging to trees, light rain, no mountain.
#CanYouSeeMtHoodFromBurlingameFMpickupSpot4 at 2pm on Nov 3 #pdxTST #pdxBikes ?
No (and yes 4 was taken... let the record show I had more totes on my cart than both of these drivers combined)

Supercargo with longboard spanning between the front head tube and steer tube. A "war on cars" coffee mug in the background.
Aside: I've never tried setting this longboard in there since I made the cardboard seatback, but it seems like it would be good for a bit of weight, like some xtracycle bags or a telescoping ladder, wood chipper. A doubled-over strap is below the fold [โฆ]
