We’re big fans of the XtraCycle longtail cargo bike system. Check out this cool Rohloff Schmidt Big Dummy we did not so long ago. Our shop Xtracycle setup is very handy for margaritas and daiquiris as well..

Why am I telling you all this? The standard Xtracycle setup, consisting of a Free-Radical extension frame (26″ wheels) and the Longtail cargo kit are on sale for $600 for February. That’s about 20% off the normal price.  If you want to put a substantial dent in your car use, and breath some new life into an old mountain bike that doesn’t see the singletrack anymore, it could be just what you’re looking for.

Big Dummy

Posted in in Commuting, Load Carrying, Surly on November 18th, 2008 by nicholasb | 3 Comments

One of these is a super heavy duty urban transport load carrying machine.. The other is a SUV..

We had the pleasure of building up our first Surly Big Dummy recently. It’s a new frame from Surly that’s built to work with the Xtracycle long-tail cargobike set up. Alex went for a Rohloff to give him the gear range to haul all the cargo that an Xtracycle can carry, a Brooks B17 and a Bobike Maxi child seat.

Have a look at all the photos here.
