    Yeah, more Bullitt content!! love it 🙂 Another tip on commuting bikes: tyres! The Bullitt comes with extremely puncture-proof tyres, the Schwalbe Marathon ( I guess in the States as well??). 'Couse you just don't wanna have a puncture on your way to work and come in late. I put some wider ones on my Bullitt the other day, for a bit more comfort. 2" in the back and 2.1" in the front. Comfeeee......🙂

      Agreed, 2 inch wide tyres and regularly checking for proper air pressure in them

    I have a 6ish inch reflective triangle hanging on the back of my saddle. works better than a red light during the day time!

    Especially if you ride in inclement weather (wet/excessively dirty conditions) disc brakes can make a big difference in consistency of stopping power. Rim brakes work fine when clean but are much more susceptible to degrading from water and dirt on the wheel

    I bought a combo horn and alarm for my bike. It gets the attention of motorists really well, and gives me peace of mind when I lock my bike up at the shops or wherever.

    A dynamo would be gamechanger, I've been wanting one for a while. I mostly use my bike for bikepacking and commuting in town (town is tiny so lights are almost never used) so I decided it wasn't worth it for now since I've gotten by fine with a powerbank. Fenders are also a huge saver in the rain. I like the Velo Orange ones because theyre reslly sturdy and dont rattle compared to my old SKS ones and its incredible how much dryer you stay. The KSK are easier to install and take off, so if you will be doing that to put your bike in a box or on a car rack I'd pick them, even though they rattle a little. I'd recommend adding a flap for the front to get it really low, it keeps your feet from being sprayed. If you're commuting on roads a lot, I recommend a mirror. I go back and forth on them and they occasionally break, but every time I put one back on I appreciate it a lot, especially in places where cycling culture isn't big and cars don't give you a lot of space. They're not sexy but they are really functional.

    Love the cargo bike videos, such a versatile bike - great to see you and the family out and about on the bike. I would love to have a cargo bike but budget does not allow.
    Love the Chanel, thanks for your content 🙏

    Simplicity of a 1x on a commuter is nice too. I use a cross check for commuting and never switched gears in the front, granted I live somewhere flat, but switching it to a 1x just removes something else to worry about.

    Thanks for sharing this episode. It's inspiriting. May I ask the best possible drive chain option attaching to a Bullitt cargo bike, please? The reason behind this question is that, in my original thought, I'd like to duplicate my tri-bike's 2*11 system to the non-electric Bullitt directly. It's a QUARQ power meter crank with 50-34 chain front, and 11-34 freewheel in the back. If this works, I could have a power reference between my tri-bike and Bullitt cargo bike on the same hilly road course. Looking forward to hearing from your pro opinion. Cheers.

    I was curious which bars you’re running here? I have mountain bike bars on my Bullitt but the back sweep isn’t quite enough. Thanks!

    Could I ask whay type of phone mount that is you have on your Bullit? The phone case looks rather sleek which isn't the case for all phone cases that incorporate the mounting system. Thanks, Chris from Vancouver BC

      Hi Crock, it is the Peak Design mobile mount! Great so far. MagSafe compatible and still lets me have a magnetic wallet attached when off the bike. Only downside is only few tempered glass protectors will work with it. I use a zagg invisible shield
