As a Dutchman, i have to salute this courageous man for riding his bike to work! Been in Florida myself i can honestly say that that is NOT the most bicycle place on earth... But hey i live in a "woke "country.
Thanks for sharing this episode. It's inspiriting. May I ask the best possible drive chain option attaching to a Bullitt cargo bike, please? The reason behind this question is that, in my original thought, I'd like to duplicate my tri-bike's 2*11 system to the non-electric Bullitt directly. It's a QUARQ power meter crank with 50-34 chain front, and 11-34 freewheel in the back. If this works, I could have a power reference between my tri-bike and Bullitt cargo bike on the same hilly road course. Looking forward to hearing from your pro opinion. Cheers.
Hi! Thanks for the comment. I asked Gary his thoughts and he said he thinks your plan would work, if you use the appropriate bottom bracket with English thread, 68mm He wasn't sure about that gearing however, unless the bike’s use is predominantly on flat ground, and not carrying a lot of weight. He currently runs a 40 tooth large chain ring on one of his bullits and the other has a 42. If you’re looking to go fast and really not carry all that much stuff, then the 50 would be fine. Thanks for watching!
@@TroyandAndrea Thank YOU very much for these detailed clarification. That's exactly what I've been trying to clear my doubts. (Sorry to reply late. The place I'm staying is limited to access into RU-vid from time to time)
My question is, how hard is it to actually pedal versus other lighter bicycles? I'm worried that it might be too heavy to be enjoyable, especially with a lot of touring gear in the front and no e-assist.
Considering that hundreds of these bikes are used all over the Netherlands for every type of cargo imaginable, I'd say that proves they are just as capable. That being said, it's certainly not the bike for everyone - base your decision off of personal preference. Thanks for watching!
The gearing will be lower so it probably won't be any more difficult to move, but if you want to be riding at the same speed as on your racing bike then you might be disappointed.
if you live in a relatively flat place (Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Florida, Phoenix, etc), you'll be surprised at how little the weight keeps you back. If you live in a hilly city, you'll definitely feeling the weight, and you might wanna check out the ebike version.
Hey thanks! Yes, that’s true, so we wanted to give a few more views of it on the road. Here’s another video of the same bike on afternoon ride: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b3saWDPrPNY.html
Appreciate your question! The frame starts at 22.3 kg and is designed to carry up to 180 kg! I know that sounds rather heavy for a typical bike, but this isn’t typical. Instead it’s indication of its main purpose and good design. Just for transparency, if the primary concern is weight, then this probably is not the bike for such a cyclist. This is one of those bikes you have to ride and feel to really appreciate what it’s capable of doing. Thanks so much watching!
@@TroyandAndrea You and your brother in law do a great presentation. You should consider putting some affiliate links for your bro-in-law's customizations in the video info section!
@@mk1972 I'm sorry, I don't know - the width and depth were small enough to fit in the cargo space. That's all I know - sorry I couldn't be of better help.
Thanks for the video Troy! Could you share the components that comprise your triple handle bar positions? I'd like to get the same setup for my cargo bike.
Hi Ben! Gary said he used: Profile Designs Jammer GT Aero Bars; with Ergon GA3 Grips; and Profile Designs Boxer bar ends to make that combination. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
