CETMA rules! I replaced my JoeBoxBike with a CETMA last year and haven't regretted a second of it. I'd be even more excited if I had electric assist. :)
How long is the wait these days?
Considering a pair of schwalbe big apples for my Big Dummy, hear lots of hype about how great they are (and I've ridden the first bunch'o'miles on the pair that came stock on the BD and now require a...
A superfluous CETMA!? Bite your tongue. :)
I have a 6 month old and a three year old, so carrying the infant is reserved only for the CETMA which I do daily to and from daycare. I really enjoy the...
A very good question, I'd imagine given Westminster's recent tragedy the popsicle index here has changed dramatically in the past week. I spend a great deal of time thinking about this very thing and...
I have a crosscheck, a big dummy, a juice 29er and a CETMA bakfiets and I constantly think which bike I'd keep if I had to keep just one. The answer? The big dummy. I don't think you lose that much...
Roody read my mind. If it were only about the destination I'd drive. :)
The issue that I think comes up with "not discussing it" when it comes up directly from a stranger is you are essentially telling them it was expensive. (yes, relatively speaking) In the case of the...
Yep. I lied through my teeth. Not because I cared whether or not he understood the value of my purchase but because I didn't want people in my neighborhood to realize that the big clunky bike I ride...
As a car-light family and a serious bike-a-holic we have extra money around to make sure the bikes we ride are nice. Also, in an effort to reduce an hour or so of driving a day my wife was doing to...
If I were shopping for a car this might be the last place I'd ask advice. :p
After 8 months of owning a top notch JoeBoxBike, I decided to go for an even nicer ride.
A few weeks back I pulled together enough ching for a Cetma Largo that I managed to find sitting on the...
Mosshops,
Not sure if you are still interested but I've been riding the boxbike for over six months and while I've enjoyed it I've decided to get a CETMA. Ordered it yesterday from a shop that...
We just had our second child last week and since it was bike to school day and I work for the Safe Routes to School National Partnership we decided it would be appropriate to ride to the c-section....
Indeed, I've had some of my favorite times with my wife (then girlfriend) riding on the back of my Xtracycle (before I had a big dummy).
Once we rode to a place about seven miles from our house...
More great information!
In terms of the seat on the back of the joebox, it would be to bridge a few months while teh little one's neck gets strong enough to sit up on her own inside the box....
Before we get too far into a debate about which bakfiet would work best, I already know from extensive research that should I spend anymore money on a different bakfiets it would be the CETMA....
Xoalaska,
I already have the JoeBike, so their support is a moot point. :) Haven't needed much customer service from them, though he suggested Blaq Designs who made my cover and now design...
Last fall I bought a Joe Boxbike off of Craigslist that has seen a ton of use. As many of you who helped might remember, most of the cons (not great for long distances, smaller box, flexier frame,...
I think she looked at a JoeBike because she was talking about buying it out of the NW, though it could have been any of them really. I'm psyched for mine, scored it on CL for a song and pretty sure I...
In my new neighborhood my Joe Box Bike turns quite a few heads. This morning, after dropping my little one at daycare on the Boxbike, I was waiting at a stop light when a woman in a Lexus SUV rolled...
My young family is making due mostly on the bicycle. What happened to ILTB? Did he decide he couldn't take the smugry any longer?
I have one of those 30 second commutes these days as well. When I started using my bicycle more for transportation it was about a seven mile ride to a very stressful job. (read: the bike ride was the...
Roody, no doubt. We've got another one on the way so it'll be a little longer but you are dead on, the moments seem to be slipping away. Riding with her in the bakfiets makes the moments last longer,...
In a step towards selling the second car, I just received a rain fly for the bakfiets that will make it possible to ride with the little one in most of Denver's winter conditions (see attachment)....
