Then the demands of having a new child kicked in…he’s not ready to travel by bike, so I really had to squeeze in “special trips” by myself on this machine — grocery runs, trips to the post office and other errands one would typically use a cargo bike for. I also found out the hard way that for my purposes, this bike isn’t suited to my daily commute. I rode it to work on the first day I was able to ride and discovered to my dismay that the Hammertruck wouldn’t fit through the door to my building!
