Hey thanks for the shoutout! Would not have expected to see a cargo bike on this channel, looks like it came out great and it's always interesting to see your problem-solving approaches. Also I love to see more people realize the potential of these bikes, especially in very car-centered places like the US.
As a cyclist and a big fan of your channel this is an awesome video!
...and here I've got some 2x4s to support
An electric motor would be a great addition.
Back when I was a boy ( 74 now) these bicycles were called "long johns" i Denmark. They were used as delivery bikes from grocery stores, dairy stores and more. We did not have a fridge, so the "iceboy# came with iceblocks appr. 60cm x 20 cm x 20cm every second day to cool the icecabinet. I like your project a lot! It might be worth taking round tubes into concideration. They tend to stand torsion better than the ones you are using.
It's 1057pm here in the UK. I've got to be up in 6 hours......but there's a 55 minute Jer Schmidt video........😵
LOL to the "aren't we all" comment.
Hmm, imagine sticking a seat ( and foot rests ) in/on the front of the bike and using at a bicycle taxi to ferry fee-paying passengers around. Scary? Yes. Exciting? Definitely...
Phil’s latest version with the wire steering is pretty slick. Great build mate
"It's kinda ugly on the inside, but aren't we all?" 🤣
Jer doesn’t do many vids but when he does they’re always of the highest quality.
One of us! I'm two minutes in the video and I already love it.
I like how honest Jeremy is when he says he might do a version 2.0 of the bike because he’s burnt out with the project. We’ve all been there! You start off super pumped up about building something, but by the end, you don’t wanna touch anything else on it 😂. Awesome bike! And I like you mentioned Phil’s inspiration hehe I thought I was in the wrong channel ;)
Jer - I am so happy to hear that Seattle is working out for you. It has a rich intellectual environment which is just what you need. As you can see by reading the comments, there is a whole village worth of people supporting you. All my best.
Love it how you and Phil have completed so many similar projects with different takes. I love both the bike builds, and both the grinders!
Phil's gas shock was REAL nice. I would totally steal that.
Awesome video as always. A notification from Jeremy is like finding a $20 bill on the ground. Unexpected, but i'm glad it happened.
Crazy timing but the channel Phil Vandelay has just uploaded a 2 part series of making a fully custom cargo bike - might be a good spot to get some inspiration!
I wil never build this but I absolutely loved watching you do so. Thank you Sir.
Yellow is literally the only color that cant cover anything (in spraypaint form). The trick it to first ptime it with white and then paint yellow over. Great bike man!!!
