Seen at San Jose Bike Party last Friday night: Matt’s Bullitt Clockwork cargo bicycle.
The Bullitt truck bike is from Larry Vs Harry in Copenhagen and are available from various dealers in the USA and around the world.
Matt commutes on this bike from his home in Silicon Valley, CA. The most obvious addition is the BionX hub motor and battery, but Matt has also added decals to represent San Jose.
November 9, 20121 Comment on Buy a mamachari bicycle straight from Japan
My pal Shuichi is now accepting orders for a few models of Japanese “mamachari” utility bikes. You can select from among electric bikes or a non-electric model with big, front mounted child seats.
Price includes U.S. tariff and shipping. These are premium models and they’ll be shipped in a container to Oakland once he gets enough orders. You’ll certainly have a very unique bike no matter where you live in the United States. I imagine you’re on your own as far as servicing these bikes go.

Sun Bicycle are known mostly, I think, for their industrial trikes and bikes for warehouse use, along with their line of low cost recumbent bikes designed by Easy Racer.
I didn’t realize until today that Sun is the cost leader in longtail cargo bikes with their Atlas Cargo, which is available (complete) for $679.

This is Paul riding a Metrofiets box bike with his daughter at Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz.
Paul runs Bay Area Cargo Bikes with Dallas in the San Francisco South Bay.
They’ve got cargo bikes for sale. Look them up if you’re in the Bay Area and you’re interested in one of these very awesome rides.
September 15, 20117 Comments on Onda bike trunks
Onda is a Boulder based spin off brand of a company that designs hard shell spare tire covers for SUVs and automotive arm rests. They launched at Interbike 2011 with their bike trunks and trailers. Very attractive.
The trunks lock for somewhat secure storage of your goodies, and also have a quick release so you can strap the trunk to your back to carry into the store or class if you want.
Trailers are lockable hard shell as well. In spite of the ABS contruction, they weigh only about a pound more than similar capacity soft trailers.
