Xtracycle Thanks, Lauren, for tipping us off to this photoset by BikePortland about TerraCycle's new cargo recumbent based on the LongTail Standard. Very cool!

TerraCycle is a recumbent parts and accessories manufacturer based in Southeast Portland. Their newest product is a heavy-duty modification to the Xtracycle Free Radical cargo conversion kit that allows it to be used on a variety of bicycles -- including recumbent trikes.

That is awesome. Do you have to have a long load sign with it? passengers can now have a decent view too.

There aren’t many Xtracycles in the UK, so this should be a local novelty – in fact I’ve not seen any, yet.

Hi there,

I came across these boxes for the Xtracycle which look to be just the job for what I'm setting up now - LocalMotion - Forres's pedal powered shopping service

http://www.dirtragmag.com/gallery/v/InterbikeDirtDemoDay2009/Dirt+Demo+Day+1+_3+of+52_.jpg.html

I'm wondering if you have any more information on them

wha...t they're made of? how much they are

and basically how I could get hold of a couple

I googled donkey box but just got the same photo -

I think these are what I've been dreaming of to give the business that proffessional touch ,

Heres hoping you can nudge me in the right direction ,

Cheers ,

Trish

As I've been mapping out Kidical Mass rides over the winter, I've been thinking of something that would add a little extra pizazz to our meetups. Over the past years we've seen a Mama Bakfiets race, and the recent Oregon Manifest Constructor's Race (with excellent coverage on BikePortland.org). ...

My favorite photos are from Renovobikes. Something to consider: Good-loooking wooden frame bicycles + Xtracycle + snapdeck= priceless.

Would love to pull off a bamboo Xtracycle, but don't really know about the handling/durability factor.

Yesterday I decided to return two of the Fat Tire kegs that we had emptied at the shop. I figured this was a great time to pull out the ol’ workhorse Xtracycle. The kegs were empty but still heavy.

This is awesome! My x does not feel so stable with an adult passanger. Maybe i need to put it on a different frame or buy a BD?

Are you riding a chromoly frame? What size? I've heard aluminium frames flex less, esp. with big tubes. Smaller sizes also flex less. | Any top-heavy weight will affect handling. Also, the closer they sit, the more centered the weight, the better the handling.
