+1 on the "huge" not being that huge. It's big enough for most things for me, but when I happened upon the "Giant" size on the Wald site I was somewhat disappointed that I was not aware there was one larger.
Full disclosure: I have mine on my Xtracycle which is a cargo bike. For most folks, the Riv "Huge" would be big enough. I'd just like to be able to fit BOTH my Yorkies when we go for a ride... ;) <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kFGtxzRDuFA/Wljd27O5kbI/AAAAAAAAD3g/WWI7lVpntFYZutVyV7gpR_AZnd6uJPUwgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1102.jpg> On Thursday, January 11, 2018 at 5:19:04 PM UTC-8, adam leibow wrote: > > Sean, > > Sorry for the delay in reply.
