Summary from imperfect memory: While reviewing the BD, Jan experienced a variety of technical troubles that are not common with BDs (namely with the disc brakes trying to eject the ft wheel). Not sure if he had a defective example (Surly almost never has a defect, but you never know), or if there was some user/setup error. And he had difficulties getting up to speed with it. He seemed (to me) inclined from the start to bias toward cargo bikes that load in front of the rider, rather than behind.
Personally, I like the BD ok, but it's a little too sporty mountain bikey for an urban utility bike, IMO. I like the Yuba Mundo better. Never tried the front loader style except for a couple rides on Bakfiets, which are sort of a different animal altogether, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
