Alex à vélo cargo
@alexprovelo.bsky.social
Papa en vélo-cargo. Passionné de design urbain, écologie, vélo et nature. À Drummondville, au Québec, Canada. - Urban design, cycling and nature! Giving all I've got for my family and the continuition of life.
My daughters (5-8yo) once asked me, together, to settle which one will have the cargo when I will die, as I am soooo old, turning 40. It was kind of cute… in a way. Seriously, it’s nice to think of my girls riding the cargo.

Absolutely true. We have both. The comfort and versatility of the boxbike and much superior.

I’m a fan of reusing straps and clips of other dead things. Dead cars and dead car seats are generally compatible donors

I have at least one conversation per day with total strangers about cargo bikes. It attracts attention for sure !

I can't wait to hit 25,0 km/h with that aero cargo. Too bad kids won't fit in it. Anyway, kids aren't aero.

I always feet a bit silly when I drop kids at school with the Bakfiet and my Lycra bid. This will be a perfect fit.

And there's only one. Pffff. The Google Trike is surronded with a rolling srceen. Well, half of it is advertisment, but still much better than only one silly screen.

Voilà un chouette sujet : papeterie écolo old school. Papier recyclé non blanchi ou ceux en résidus de canne à sucre, mais acheminé par avion :-(. Plumes fontaines à piston qui entraînent une obsession des ti-pots d’encres. Multiplication des porte-mines pour mines colorées. Rien n’est parfait.

En entendant Evelyne qui optimise ses ti-boutes de Prismacolor multigenerationnels, je voulais vous partager nos mini solutions pour faire de même. Le fût d’un vieux stylo mort ou un rallongie en métal « prolongent » la vie de nos prismacolors rouges, verts et bleus ciels. Bonus : plume et recharges

My wife and I had a conversation this morning about investing. We don’t believe that the global economic system will be functioning at the time we will have the age to retire. We believe in direct local investment in sustainable projects within the community. Bunch would be good for those around it.

The parabox is that anytime I think it’s full, there always, magically, a place for more. It defy any organization science.

I love that so much! They look so cramped and yet, they’re having the best time of their life. I can imagine at home “it was so cool! Mom, I want one for my birthday!”

I once met a guy for whom a tandem was the default mode of transport because he had to lift his wife or teenager from time to times.

As if driving a Miata would imply to always be two… or always be 9 persons in a stupid Navigator.

I rely on the wheel lock for quick errands. If I let it in sketchy place or for more than 10min, I add the abus City Chain 1060 Xplus granite. It fits well in the cockpit, but I would prefer a longer one.

We say that every bike can be a cargo… still, this one, with two toddlers, convinced me to get a e-assisted trike.

Absolutely! One rack (with low-rider bar) on the front and one on the rear. On each, two bag and one box. Paklow! Cargo-ified regular bike.

That's a great idea! Transforms our passagers into freelancers.

La poésie fait partie des intangibles que les ingénieurs en mobilité n’arrivent pas à mesurer. Il n’y a pas d’unité internationale pour les moments où une poff de vent fait tomber en quelques secondes toute la neige des arbres. ou quand on fait la première trace avec le levé de soleil dans la face.

L’hiver intimide de nombreux cyclistes qui rangent leur vélo dès la première neige. Ils manquent de si beaux paysages, tout en consacrant leur temps à décrouter les vitres de leur voiture avant de s’asseoir, immobiles et grelotteant, sur un banc froid sans réaliser leur inconfort.
