As good a time as any to start a thread about moving big and unusual loads by bike and cargo bike.
First up is this little video from @SiamVelo showing a @BikesYuba Spicy Curry hauling a trailer for a house move in France.

The folks at @pedalmeapp in London are always up for a hauling a big load with their custom built @UrbanArrowcom bikes and big trailers with a powerful hydraulic disc brake system of their own design.
Industrial fridges on the move!

While we are on the subject of fridges there’s always this legend.
Who needs a cargo bike when you have a highly developed ability to find the centre of gravity under an unwieldy object.

Love this clip posted by @MichaelNapiork from Ontario.
Plenty of room in this lovely @bakfiets.
The wide box enables these two kids to face each other while being able to see the road ahead and their mum behind them.
Very cool!

London-based cargo bike delivery company @pedalmeapp shows @BorisJohnson it is indeed possible to deliver a fridge freezer using a bicycle. In this case an @urbanarrow towing a trailer.
This tilting @STROKE_cargo e-cargo bike from Japan is pretty amazing.

Next up is @UrbanRiderKim1 in Ann Arbor Michigan who uses a cargo bike to move 300+ lbs (140kg) of bike boxes around when they need space in their bike shop.
Is that another @UrbanArrowcom?

On a cold winter day in Chicago @ElsbethCool eats a burrito while riding in a covered cosy cargo bike.
And we have one more @UrbanArrowcom

Whatabout when it’s snowing and cold?
Whatabout food deliveries and internet deliveries when they ban cars and make everyone cycle?
The folks at @Velovebikes in Gothenburg, Sweden have got your back!

Here’s @CarryMe_Bikes our local cargo bike seller in Hackney almost taking flight while carrying some plywood back to base.
Carrying awkward items doesn’t always require a cargo bike.
But it can make you really smiley

h/t @MichielJoseph who spotted this chap in Holland Park, London.

Wowzers!
Check this prototype @Velovebikes Armadillo electric assist cargo bike with fuel cell 300 km range with six wheels and a semi-trailer.
The future is here.
Who needs vans anymore!

Love when two mainstays of London’s cycling scene come together.

Very cool cargo bike based mobile parklet designed and built by @ETAservicesltd on behalf of Kingston council as part of their mini Holland project
This very cool video by BBC journalist @annaholligan (about how she uses her phone to broadcast live) prominently features her awesome @UrbanArrowcom e-cargo bike. Which I imagine is also pretty handy for #mojo mobile journalists.
Another one for this cargo bike thread from @fietsprofessor
Cargo bikes can be taxis too.
In London clinically vulnerable people are using the cargo bike taxi and logistics firm @pedalmeapp to safely get to hospital appointments.

This one from @JamesNonchalant who works in training at London’s cargo bike taxi and logistics firm @pedalmeapp.
You can see here that they take training and safety very seriously as one of their riders is put through their paces.
