Cool grocery-getters

Itsfixed

Hi all

As my boards name implies I like fixies.

I read this website first thing every morning and today it listed the results of a cool competition to build a fixed wheel grocery-getter.

So if you like utility bikes, this is definitely worth a look.

It also shows how fixed gear bikes don't have to resemble the ones that couriers ride.

Excellent bikes in there. This is my favourite one, the pro version

TinyExplosions

Cheers for that, and Trojan, I agree -think that bike is awesome!

My winner is the one that is used for carrying Goose Island Summertime.
Although the folder is pretty damn cool too.

Yeah but i could imagine that steering shaft jamming and causing some tears to be shed over spilt milk

Well just as long as you're not descending the Col Du Petit Saint-Bernard at the time, I reckon you'll likely come off (badum tsch!) ok.

I love the shopping trolley conversion on that one.

This one is less brilliant, for obvious reasons:

heh yeah that's held to the handlebars with velcro straps.Wouldn't fancy them breaking with a case of beer on the platform!

Having 20+kg forward of the front axle would make handling a bit interesting too. And no brakes. :eek:

I see a missed opportunity for running-boards here. And huskies. Needs huskies.

But the real issue is does it qualify for the "Express checkout, baskets only" lane?
