Jimmy — The U District one is at 50th and Brooklyn on Saturdays from 9 to 2. If you guys ever want to go just give us a call on Saturday morning. We could meet at our house, get breakfast (there is a good place halfway between here and there) and walk down to the market. It’’s a 10 minute walk.

My current plan is to permanently braze the rack into place. I don”t see too much of a reason to make it removable.

JimG — I”d take those. I don”t plan on doing remote steering for this cargo bike, but if I feel like it’’s front heavy then I might retrofit that.

Hi Alex, let me know if you need any tie-rod end ball joints — I think I have some unused ones laying around from my old full-suspension bike project. If they”re something you can use, you”re welcome to ”em!

Nice, I hadn”t even realized the U District had one. We”ll be hiking Sat, though.

What are your thoughts on attaching the cycle truck’’s rack? I was wondering if you”re going to make it removeable, like the one above, or like the James Black ones, or more permanent?

Robert — Typically smoked salmon and cheese, or whatever veggies look good in the fridge. The important thing is good eggs from the farmer’’s market which is are so much better tasting than what I can buy at the grocery store (even Whole Foods).

Jimmy — We go to the University District market most weeks. The Ballard Market is good too, but has a little too much crafty stuff and not quite enough produce for me. We”ll be there tomorrow, probably on the tandem.

I like the twin tie rods on that bike. Not sure they”re necessary, but I like ”em anyhows.

The last couple of weekends we(Emily and I) have been going to the Ballard market for gorceries. My homemade bucket-panniers have gotten many positive comments. Which market did you go to?

Looks the life of Riley out there. Good hardware stores are a sign of something good about a community and having nice bikes like that one around is inspiring.
