I have a V1, blue six-speed upgraded with a Mega-range, granny gear for hauling power. There’s a few scratches from shipping, and a couple from flipping it on the handles to work on it.
Pickup only, or delivery within a reasonable distance.

The Madsen Cargo Bike looks outstanding for carrying children and gear.
Two versions of this bike exist – one with a rack

The prices right now are about $1100 to $1300 (rack or box) and they offer to ship it [...]

from Rove Arounds
Next, don’t believe the hype. Retailers will encourage you to purchase a trailer for your child, stating it is the safest way to travel. Studies have proven this irrelevant, based on where you live, how you travel etc. The [...]
