SOLD

For Sale - £1000

Bought in February 2014 from the School Run Centre in Cambridge this bike has been well used for 4.5 years in all weathers, and on many surfaces. It's done the childminder, pre-school and school run, as well as countless leisure trips. But now Matthew is moving into Year 1 we have decided it's time to move on and bought a tandem and sadly we don't have space or funds to keep them both, so it is reluctantly for sale.

We're asking £1000. If you're interested please contact me by email (eleanorb@gmail.com) or text message (07791 272131) to arrange a viewing, test ride, or to borrow for a longer test. We're based in Great Shelford, and can arrange to meet you within the Cambridge area.

Description

A bakfiets (literally "box bike") is a cargo bike with a large box at the front, often used for carrying children. This model is made by Bakfiets.nl - a well regarded brand. It is the smaller of their range, being a bit easier to store and a little bit more manoeuvrable. Suitable for up to two children in the box. This particular bike has a black frame, 8 hub gears and a red rain tent - great for all year riding. We've had it regularly serviced at the School Run Centre. This model is currently £1900 new, and the supplied accessories including rain tent would add £300. (Model and price information.)

More details:

We initially used it with a toddler seat, but it will also fit a baby seat of similar design (both available from the School Run Centre, £76), or can have an adapter added in order to hold a Maxi Cosi car seat (from £81). We have been able to use it with two five year olds sitting in the box with their school bags. It's also possible to fit a conventional bike seat on the rear rack if desired. It has lived outdoors, but it is designed to do so, and we have a bike cover which we use in bad weather (Not for sale, but also available from the School Run Centre, £65)
