TOM'S CARGO BIKES
Built their own
I have recieved a bunch of emails about the "Build Your Own" plans. It's really cool so many people are going to give this a try. If your one of these brave, crazy or awesome people, please send me photos of your finished creation. I'll post the pictures here for the world to see.
The first picture is a team build by Bryan, from Coos Bay OR, and his cousin John, from Seattle WA. I dig the open front cargo design, orange paint and way cool head ornament.
This is Jackson, from the Boston area, out test riding his home made cargo bike - in the snow no less. He dubbed it the "LongTom", I don't get it, but the bike sure looks great. *Update* On the right is Jackson loading his bike with his own home brewed beer- does it get better than this?
Wow, this super cool bike was built by Brian from Sacramento, CA. This build was inspired by my DIY plans, but Brian stepped it up quit few notches. There are more photos of this bike over at cargobikegallery.com - check it out
.
Dan from Austin, TX, made this bike and uses it to ride his kids around town. He's a furniture builder by trade, which explains the awesome, well built and somewhat unique box design.
This is Jess, from Hood River OR, taking his monster cargo bike for a spin. It's still in the R&D stage of construction, but I thought I'd post the photo anyway. Jess was the first to contact me about a suspicious craigslist ad ( more of that story over on the MISSING page). * Update * Here, on the right, is the finished bike in all it's glory and dubbed the "Heightfiets".
This is Giacomo, he's a regular "International Man of Mystery" and cargo bike builder. He's from Lima Peru, but working on a public bike sharing program in South Korea, near Seoul.(http://germenestudio.tumblr.com/page/1) The BUILD YOUR OWN plans inspired him to add some cargo bikes to his project, on the left is his first flatbed and on the right is the "childrens taxi".
This bike belongs to Bryan, of Sacramento, CA, - it is actually a collaboration of sorts between Bryan and myself. I built the frame, he added the custom box and built the drivetrain, including drum brakes and internal hub gears. I think the box looks great and it has a trick side door to allow easy access for the two dogs.
Here we have a cool bike built by Rev. Chris from Tulsa, OK.
The build was a bigger project than he expected, but he got it done just in time to ride in the art bike/car parade - looks like fun.
If your every in Norwicn Norfolk, United Kingdom, then you may be lucky enough to see Symon out running errands on this sweet homemade longjohn.
