@dstein, thanks. I would call Riv with your child seat question -- but given Grant says the frame passes the EN mountain bike standard, I'd be really surprised if it couldn't handle 33lbs easily in back without flinching. Plus, like you say, once you don't have a child seat requirement, you have a lighter-weight more versatile bike to re-imagine into what you need it to be, compared to a cargo bike.
"As a trail bike, commuter, shopper, all-around ruffabout bike, it’s as pure and perfect as you’ll find anywhere. I/Grant think of it as a mountain bike–and the frame does pass the mountain bike EN test, the toughest in the world, so it’s not going to break on you." The Workcycles Fr8 is one cool bike -- have you seen those? I used to want one, but man if you don't really NEED to haul a lot, you're paying the price in weight for sure, so not so versatile. You could take your kids AND the neighbor's too! Tom On Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at 12:00:23 AM UTC-4, dstein wrote: > > Nice writeup.
