Gauss - well done for spotting where I was going -  the roundabout was no issue - even with the 45kg load - the bike has a motor so I can accelerate into a gap easily. did tend to lift the front wheel when stomping on the pedals tho.  Most of my route is traffic free and sneaky.

I’ve tried towing a 20” bike on the back of my cargo bike...spare hum mounted to the rack, with the forks of the towed bike in that.
Unfortunately, a kids bike is too short a wheelbase, so it’s really ‘steep’ and flops about....

I really want to make a firm bracket that mounts LOWER sot eh bike is at a more normal angle.....

Watch this space!

(it’s useful for going for rides with the lad, and when he gets tired, I can just hitch his bike to mine and he sits ont eh back..)

Some amateur efforts from me:

Looks like I'm carrying the wheel in this picture, but it's strapped to my backpack and I'm just holding my mobile to take the photo while cycling along:

Cargo bike took a little longer to arrive than expected bu turned up on Friday, already had a couple of rides on it and it's ridiculously good fun, you'd think it was just hard work and cumbersome but it's really not. Looking forward to lugging more stupid things around (including my son) now... 😀
