cargo bike rental It is included in my habit that I often visit blogs in my free time, so after landing on your blog. I have thoroughly impressed with it and decided to take out some precious time to visit it again and again. Thanks.
christania’s “Renting Bikes In Copenhagen” bikes are rolling across the city. The system, less than a year old, is funded by christania’s municipal government. It is currently only in one of christania’s 22 administrative districts. Although a 2nd generation system, there are 12 “Houses” in this district, each with around 40 bikes. The yearly subscription cost is the equivalent of $2 US, and allows the use of a bike for up to four hours at a time. In less than a year, there have been 6,000 subscriptions sold. There are larger 3rd generation systems in the world, which do not have a subscription to bike ratio as big as that.
I just found this old post, sorry I didn't reply to any of you that have been here, I will attempt to give a breakdown of the build, started with a bike.Chopped off the rear end at the bottom bracket,then lengthened the frame about 500 mm.this makes it easier to mount the hinge for swivel. (note) unless the bike can lean you will never be able to ride it properly, you also need plenty of clearance for the pedal and leg on the sidecar side.The hinge is better being at the same height as the wheel radius.above or below this Increases or decreases the leverage on lean to the outrigger wheel. I also had a loose rod 8 mm diameter that I used to keep the bike upright,when not in use.otherwise the bike tends to fall over. On later builds I incorporated a swivel arm, fastened to the frame "but swivelling" and with a slot on the other end that notched onto the sidecar. TBC note I am now 77 years old so I may not find this again for some time.
really cool, only just come across this on the net, love it.
ReplyDeleteMay i have a blueprint
ReplyDeleteNo blueprint. built in the backyard. Many options.
DeleteHow easy is it to remove the sidecar?
ReplyDeleteonly one nut to undo,pull the swivel pin.and off you go with a longtail bike.
DeleteAmazing project, how does the leaning mechanism work? I'd love to try to mzke one like this....

ReplyDeleteGreat looking bike how do I get blueprint to make please
ReplyDeleteHi! very great design and execution!
ReplyDeletehow is the handling?
is the bike steer tried to turn left all the time?
The bike rides like a normal bike, the only time you lose steer is when the bike and sidecar are fixed, Or unable to lean. Gyroscopic effect.
