• Transporting cargo bikes

  I guess I'll keep looking for suggestions as the title to the article was misleading no answers other than leave the bike home... Not the answer I was looking for.

  Doug D, those are great suggestions and I'll keep them in mind when we transport our cargo bike. After thinking it through, we decided to use only our roof rack (modified to fit our family tandem) and to leave our cargo bike at home. As much as I missed my cargo bike on the grocery stops, it was a much better idea for us to travel lighter, with fewer bikes. We actually didn't even use Anna's bike - she was always riding with me on the tandem - so we would have been fine with 3 bikes on the roof.

• Get the tandem trays

  From your picture, this will not help you, but it may help others. I have a hitch mount rack that I put on the rear, and a trunk mount rack that I mount on the rear window and put a kid bike on.
  Also, if you take the wheels off a longtail, it is narrow enough to not overlap a car by too much. the wheels can then go on a rack or in the trunk.
  Remember that there is a lot of space between Jasper's feet and the floor, you can use it to carry stuff so there is more room for bike stuff elsewhere.
