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.

      I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round.

      I don't need you to tell me to 'fight against' racism.  I know what it looks it like, thank you.  And China would be our enemy whether we were in Europe or not (and has been for a long time), so that's immaterial.  I remember covering an EDL march 12 years ago, when there was a Cons-Lib Dem coalition, so the idea that this is a new problem is rubbish. BUT Reform is doing an excellent job of galvanising a minority in reaction to smug liberals like you, who blame the electorate's collective ignorance for all the country's demons.  What right have you for a moral mandate?

      Both Labour and Conservatives can remove the threat of a Reform government by making making two major policy promises. And these are .......... (1) categorically state that they will take Britain out of the ECHR and (2) Undertake to remove any new small boat arrivals to Rwanda or wherever else. Reform is basically a single issue party and adopting (1) & (2) would send Reform into obscurity. The country has had enough of our judiciary making a gold-plated interpretation of the ECHR statutes.
