Hi, I am wondering if anyone has got a cargo bike to sell and if they could answers some questions

I have a 4 1/2 years old and a dog, I'm worried that she might be already to big for the bike.

I dont have a car so the bike would be our bus/cab everywhere.

Thank you

Hello,


We don't have one to sell, but wanted to recommend the Nihola trike that we bought from London Green Cycles. We use the Nihola for school runs and it's how we get around on the weekends as a family of 3 without a car.


You're welcome to come try ours out or just hire one from London Recumbents in Dulwich Park if you think the Nihola is for you. Otherwise, the best place to test ride cargo bikes is probably London Green Cycles as they have a huge range of 2 wheeled cargo bikes and 3 wheeled ones. You'll need to consider which cargo bike fits your family & neighbourhood (hills, speedbumps, parking, etc) best.


Feel free to PM if you'd like more info.

I don't really notice the width unless I'm trying to squeeze into small spaces, in particular straight & narrow bike lanes with curbs on both sides. But the steering on the Nihola felt very intuitive, unlike the Bakfiet, Babboe, Butchers & Bicylces, and Christiania that we tried. It took some time (about 1 to 2 weeks) getting used to being on three wheels especially when going down hill, over bumps and adjusting to the camber in roads etc. The Nihola has its flaws though, so it's best you test out all the trikes available to you to see which one suits you best.


Apparently the word on the street is that Balfe's Bikes will be selling Nihola trikes in East Dulwich soon.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
