Cycle Trucks Caddy Rack for 26 inch wheel bikes

This is one heavy duty rack that can haul regular or big panniers. It can also haul a bike on either side via wheel wells. I had hauled my Brompton on one last year when I delivered a Bullitt Cargobike on behalf of a friend last year.

I have had the rack since last year which I bought from a friend. Last weekend, I finally got the chance to install it.

The heavy duty dual kickstand is very sturdy. The Cycle Trucks dual kick stad is very reliable. It is one of the best selling features of any Cycle Trucks utility bike

Low Center of Gravity

Low center of gravity makes it easier to haul stuff on a small wheel cargobike like the Brompton folding bike.

So far a 40 pound 5-gallon water jug is the heaviest load I have out on the StandUpforBrompton cargo platform.

Riding with the water jug felt stable. I even let go just to see how much the jug would wobble but it didn't.

Start small when carrying something on the StandUpFor Brompton cargo platform. Practice with lighter load like this small yogurt dessert.

Xtracycle Hooptie

Last weekend I installed the Hooptie on the Cycle Truck Beavertail. Although, it was primarily designed for child security, it works great keeping other loads secure. Here are a few examples:

Great thanks to Micheal at North County Bicycles in Carlsbad, CA for carrying the Xtracycle brand.

Cycle Truck Front Loading Cargo Bike

Meet "The Ogre." 

I ordered the frame set from Cycle Trucks designer and builder John Lucas in West Sacramento. There was an eight month wait time but it was worth it. During that time I found another family that would enjoy the Dutch Bakfiet. It was a great bike but I needed something I can customize and with a bipartible frame.

The bronze weld and finish look amazing that several of my friends recommended a clear coat finish. Adding a dark brown Brooks B67 saddle and painting the treated birchwood deck in dark walnut gave the bike a vintage and industrial look.

It is very easy to ride and maneuver. The slick balloon tires gives it a smooth ride. It has a 40 and 30 tooth front chain ring and a Nexus 7 speed internal geared hub. I had few people ride it for the first time. And they rode it like a regular bike. They were surprised how easy it was to ride.
