It was a lovely Spring Sunday morning but there was no holding back pre-dawn preparations for BBQ Bike. Yep…. BBQ Bike – the latest personality to join the Big Galloot fleet. Visiting relatives didn’t deter the frenzy of last minute adjustments that had to be made before exposing unassuming folk to the wonders of the cargo bike… completely retrofitted with esky, gas bottle and two-burner camping stove. 
The whole fleet was there, including the traditional box bike fitted with a homemade cushion for the bench seat (all materials sourced from our good mates at Reverse Garbage). The exercise was a bit of a taster for us – we were really there to attend the Food Connect stall – the bikes seemed to be a real conversation starter, especially with the dads who couldn’t wait to test drive the kids around the block. The smiles on those faces were priceless! Who knows, we may even get a couple of sales from the day 
Any plans for another convoy of cargo bikes? I ride a Yuba Mundo and would like to talk with others about cargo cycling.
