"Hi Rich, I'd be happy to try a different version of your software if there is one. For the record, my phone is a Huawei Ideos U8150, running Android 2.2. Hardly a powerhouse, but it's more than capable of uploading a photo and comment to…"

"Oh well, that was a short trial. There's something not quite right about an app that runs so slowly - even on a low-end phone like mine - that I can't type in a description in my report at more than 2 characters per minute. Looks like…"

"Will do, just as soon as it's available for a non-glowing-fruit device... will be trying Neat Streets in the meantime."

"*bump* Any news as to how long "the works" might be for the Android version?   For the 'Droid users, there is an app (available in the market) called "Neat Streets", which seems to do much the same thing as Snap Send…"

"Sorry, the Triathlete went on Evilbay months ago. Still have the wheels if anybody is looking for a cheap set of good quality 7-speed wheels. It's the only 700c wheelset I own, so they're just kind of sittin' there with no frame to…"

"No worries Ben. If anybody else is interested, let me know. Cargo Cycle number 37 was delivered this week - another inner Melbourne buyer. They're getting out there, and we're still having fun. tim"

"I have a slightly unusual one on my hands that I've decided to get rid of. It might be of interest to you. It's big - 62 square by my measure - but I find it quite comfortable to ride despite technically fitting better on a 54 (~175cm with…"

Time to spill the beans.
The bike in my picture is a Cargo Cycles cargo bike.
Cargo Cycles is me. I'm starting a small cargo bike importing business.
Details and pricing at http://www.cargocycles.com.au

My cargo bike is neither DIY, nor a Christiania.

Christies are trikes, with a front wheel either side of the box.

This one is a bike.

It's essentially the same style as the Dutch "bakfiets" that Hielke has in his picture (and, apparently, on the slow boat from Amsterdam).

Mine is factory-built, but not in the bakfiets.nl factory like Hielke's. I'll have more to tell about my cargo bike soon...

Lots of photos of bakfietsen at http://www.flickr.com/groups/bakfiets/pool/

Hi Barefoot,

Welcome to Melbourne Cyclist!

Is that a DIY Christiana bike or the real thing?
