I replaced a 2nd car with an #xtracycle edgeRunner #eBikes a decade ago, can confirm, 1000 miles/yr by bike replaced 3k miles/yr by car. All you have to do is question whether every sub-3-mile trip is worth scorching the planet and giving money to dickhead billionaires, or maybe wear a hat and put on some socks. #cargoBikes #LeaveTheCarAtHome #ClimateAction #parenting

Practical problem with maintaining long-tail cargo bikes: They need a longer than regular chain. Easiest obtained by just adding two regular chains. I was smart enough to keeping the non-needed part of the second chain. But not smart enough to buy three chains from the beginning. 🤦

So I guess I have to look for the exact model of chain that I've got a half-chain already now...

Adding to the #introduction posts…

I co-own mindme.care (we provide GPS devices for #AssistedLiving) but I’m really a software developer who’s current love is #elixir but I also tinker with #python too.

I live in the #uk, detest #brexit and am getting more and more left-wing as I get older.

I’m interested in #ActiveTravel, #CargoBikes and #LivableCities (despite living in a small village in the countryside) and would one day love to build a sustainable, eco-home.
