2023: The Year of the Cargobike


 

As we move into the year 2023, it looks like the "year of the cargobike" could be upon us. Cargobikes, also known as cargo bikes or freight bikes, are a type of bicycle that is specifically designed to carry large loads. These bikes are becoming increasingly popular as people look for more environmentally friendly and efficient ways to transport goods.

One of the main reasons why cargobikes are becoming more popular is because of the growing concern about climate change. Cargobikes are a much more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional delivery vehicles, such as trucks and vans, as they produce zero emissions and take up much less space on the road. This makes them an attractive option for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint and make their operations more sustainable.

In addition to their environmental benefits, cargobikes also have a number of other advantages. They are much cheaper to operate and maintain than traditional delivery vehicles, and they can easily navigate through crowded city streets and narrow alleys. This makes them a more efficient and cost-effective option for delivering goods in urban areas.

As cargobikes become more popular, we are likely to see a proliferation of different models and designs on the market. From electric cargobikes that can travel long distances to folding cargobikes that are easy to store, there will be a cargobike to suit just about any need.

Overall, it looks like 2023 could be the year that cargobikes truly take off. With their environmental benefits and practicality, it's no wonder that these bikes are becoming an increasingly popular choice for businesses and individuals looking to transport goods in a more sustainable and efficient way. So, it's a good idea to consider a cargobike as a transportation option in 2023.

How (and when) to Lube Your Bike Chain

Image
  Introduction Lubricating your bike chain is an important maintenance task that helps keep your bike running smoothly. A well-lubricated chain can also extend the life of your drivetrain components, saving you money in the long run. It's generally recommended to lubricate your chain every 100-150 miles, or at least once a month if you're an avid rider. Materials needed To lubricate your bike chain, you'll need a good quality bike chain lubricant and a clean cloth or brush. You can find bike chain lubricant at most bike shops or online.

Use a clean cloth or brush to remove any dirt or grime from the chain. Applying lubricant Once your chain is clean, it's time to apply lubricant. Dispense a small amount of lubric...

Roads are for Bikes, not Cars - An Open Letter to Politicians

This post was created using OpenAI's GPT Based Chatbot. With full acknowledgement that the training of AI model's isn't the most environmentally friendly thing in the world- using them for inference (usually) has a trivial impact- since OpenAI is offering this service in beta for free, my guess is this one is trivial too. The images may have a bit more impact which is why we tried to limit them. I used one pass using DALL-E-2 .   Article starts here: As a politician, you are tasked with making decisions that will benefit the greater good of your constituents. When it comes to transportation, it is clear that prioritizing bikes over cars is a decision that will benefit not only the individuals who use bikes as their primary mode of transportation, but also the community as a whole. First and foremost, prioritizing bikes over cars will greatly improve the health and wellbeing of your constituents. Regular bike riding has been shown to have numerous health benefits, such as i...

New website, who dis?

So summer is over, and it’s back to the coal mine that is blogging. Back in April I expressed intentions to reskin the site, and I finally did. But Why? Well, I’m taking some friends to Riot Fest this weekend in the PX50 (formally referred to as the P-500X), which I converted to a rickshaw of sorts, and my sister pointed out it would be a great guerilla marketing opportunity. So I figured it would be good to update the site first. I must say, GoDaddy’s website builder has gotten much nicer recently- I was shocked. A lot of stuff has happened over the summer- some of which I took pictures of, and hopefully it will give me some good fodder to get back into blogging about things. We’re three quarters the way done on our flag ship sportster the SX300, a 3KW Velo cab, it’s still kind of a mess in my garage, but I think it will be underway sometime in October. But I don’t want to go off in the weeds talking about it- this post is about the new website, which as a best feature has a mailing l...
