Hauling things by bike

I had really hoped to have a more spectacular re-launch of CFA2 in time for Curb Your Car Month 08, but it's been way busy on the non-motorized transportation front lately (which is a good thing) and it turns out it's not that easy to find bloggers who are not already blogging. So we'll do the best we can and maybe hope to have lots of new posts in time for World Carfree Day in September.

I'm (finally) prompted to post by an excellent recent Grist article on cargo bikes. Who could resist a title like Haul's Well that Ends Well?

Now, anyone know if anyone in town has an Xtracycle?

photos of East Quad Bike Coop Fixup


HD points out:

Two weekends ago, the East Quad Bike Coop held a bike fixup and giveaway.

At the end of the event, 7 or 8 of the really really junky ones found
their way into the Ghost Bike project.

Here's a couple of shots from Matt Hampel's Flickr account:
