How Much Charizard Card

The Cabby Eric

"It's been 3 years that I walk Eliott, 5 years on my bike in a seat Hamax . But there are now 2 years we have been fortunate to having twins, Charles and Erin . After a year and a half to carry the stroller, it is true that I regretted not being able to bike with my 3 children. So I searched the internet what were the modes transportation possible. I came across the site Ronan between others, so I read the lengthy articles on the transportation of children to bike and especially the opinions of different users. I quickly dismissed system pulled the cart, too bulky and not practical for my needs. The scooters do not satisfy me as too big. In contrast, the bicycle-wheelbarrow I liked. However I did not like the wooden navy. I wanted something more contemporary.

Then I came across Gazelle Cabby . After trying in Hollandbikes Paris Porte de Versailles , I have decided and purchased from Hollandbikes to Lyon (ask Franck, it is excellent advice). I went to fetch 11 August 2008 and since I my car three children morning and evening.

I offer a small inventory of positive and negative Gazelle Cabby.
Pros:
- Children are well seated. 2 straps used to attach them as in a stroller. Once seated there remains much room to children's feet to put the bag of the nanny or school bags. Possibility also storage under the seat (Ideal to put the rain gear).

- The aluminum body and the "cover" is certainly lighter than traditional Bakfiets . It can be removed entirely or simply retreat to allow return to a more narrow hall building. I have also come to the fold to avoid it rains inside.

- The rain-proof bubble is now available for about 100 €:

- The Cabby is very easy to handle small and very low speed. Once launched, the whole is very stable. He behaves like a conventional bicycle. It is even possible to pedal in "dancer" on steep slopes (and there must follow the legs!). Once on stand, children can drop by the front of the bike without any concern for stability.

- The Cabby is equipped with 7 speed hub Shimano Nexus that facilitate pedaling. Very practical, the possibility of changing speeds off and thus return at low speed before the start (it will change your life compared to a bike derailleur).

- A hub dynamo provides lighting front and rear of the bike. Automatic ignition at startup. Nothing to do with the lighting of battery ATV that one is forced to think about lighting before you go ...

- The bike is equipped with an anti-theft integrated with key (luxury, it folds like cars!). The Cabby has a tattoo etched in the ground, under saddle, thus, theoretically, limit theft. In any case your bicycle is easily identifiable.

- There is also a barrier skirt, very convenient to keep the feet of the child seated in the rear seat pass into the wheel.

Cons:
I do not see much except for now:
- It is easier to drive loaded. Indeed empty, the front wheel has a tendency, after passed through a hole to vibrate strongly. You are then forced to slow down before resuming your original speed. I do not know if this is a fault but I've already done three times since last August.
- The weight is not negligible. About 38 kgs . It is best to use the Cabby in a city with low slope. Otherwise provide electrical assistance. It exists I've seen on Youtube .

Conclusion: The
Cabby is very quick to learn, even my wife who initially was not very reassured it is set. The center of gravity of the bike down and its equipment, safety belts, center stand make Cabby a bike stable and safe driving as well as stationary. In our case, it meets our needs perfectly. We live in the heart of Besançon (the city center is relatively flat) and we use the bike to take the kids to school, to the nanny to go shopping or to walk.
To enable me to carry Eliott who was 5 years, I added a seat in junior Bobike (very good but not easy to climb). So I 3 children on the bike! Respect!

In summary, the happiness of children and bystanders who smile in your way ... Who could ask for more. "
