I honestly have no idea if this is practical, the closest I ever came to utility cycling was riding with small furniture in a handlebar basket. I am working on a photobash where a salvage co-op is recovering technology from overgrown buildings, and I wanted to put some kind of vehicle out front. My first instinct was a wagon with tires/suspension from a car, but I thought this might be an opportunity to show off alternatives to horse or oxen, - is there some kind of larger-than-average contraption you’d like to see here?
Thanks! These are good examples - it seems like the most practical designs are probably a single bicycle with a narrow trailer (though some are longer than I expected). Is there anything you’d do differently if this was going to be the only thing on the road? Would tandem bikes or multiple bikes per trailer be practical or just goofy?
Those are my photos and no- not much I would change. Even bigger loads require electric trikes. You can also chain electric trailers but that’s rare.
Thanks! It’s cool to hear from you! Here’s what I ended up making based on feedback from here:
That was the first - I’ve included cargo bikes in a few other photobashes I did later:
I’m still making solarpunk art so if there’s anything you’d like to see feel free to let me know!
