Dropped the Dummy’s chain on the ride home this evening – I should’ve been proactive with the faint creak I was hearing 🙂 I had my chain tool handy and probably could’ve pressed out the faulty link on the spot, but I was close to the west bank at the University of Minnesota and one of Goldy’s warm buses was waiting just a few feet from my.

I’ve asked parked/off-duty Metro Transit bus drivers before if I could test putting the Dummy on their rack and they usually give me a strange look and oblige. It wasn’t the most secure set up, but I knew it worked. I expected Goldy’s racks to be similar and I was right. Here’s a view from inside the bus.

Its not hard to get a longtail cargo bike on the rack of a bus, but I believe the front wheel overhangs where a front wheel would usually rest on the rack. The adjustable support arm that would usually grab onto the front wheel instead grabs on to the top bar of the Dummy. If this doesn’t make sense, I’ll get a pic outside the bus if it should ever happen again.
