Cargo
Additional cargo considerations
Using good judgment
No warning is a substitute for good
judgment. Always use good judgment. If
you have reason to suspect that your own
judgment isn’t great, share your plans
with somebody you respect, and ask for
a second opinion.
Additional cargo
considerations
Always make sure you have at least
two well-adjusted brakes. Under severe
loads (as when carrying a passenger or
cargo) at high speed a very strong front
brake can lead to failure of the front fork
To reduce the risk of injury, use wheel-
skirts when carrying passengers or chil-
dren.
Pre-ride checklist
Ensure straps cannot get caught in the
wheels.
Ensure bags, boxes or any other item
are in a position where they cannot be
caught in the spoke.
Double-check your load for security and
stability.
Check that your brakes are well adjusted
Check to see that your wheels are
securely fastened
That your helmet is securely fastened.
That no components or frame members
are cracked or broken (in general, if at
any time you notice a crack or bend in
your bike, stem, forks, or bars of your
bicycle, stop riding immediately; take
your rig to your local bike shop and have
them inspect it)
That your bike is equipped with the
proper passengers accessories (child-
seat, foot pegs, handle bar, wheelskirts).
Kickstand
A bicycle kickstand is provided with each
bicycle. There are a few important points
to take into consideration when using a
kickstand with a cargo bicycle.
Kickstands are not designed for heavy
loading or passenger loading.
The user should always hold on to the
bike when loading it. Or the user can
lean the bike against a wall or a pole
to prevent the bicycle from falling over.
