Small Wheel Cargo Bikes Are Trending

[@JogieGlenMait16]

Making your own hubs from scratch is bonkers. Great job.

[@zwicker5585]

Paul brodie has a video making brass hubs. Its pretty sweet

[@bikefriday]

Thanks for featuring our upcoming Bosch Bike Friday, Russ, we are stoked to be handcrafting these in the US! Thanks for all the MADE Show content too, it was great to see you back in Portland!

[@TheJohnRowley]

All these brilliant talented clever people with their fantastic bicycles - and doing this in one of the most bicycle unfriendly countries in the world, it is inspiring!

[@DoomsdayAdam777]

Destroy bike was my fav bike at the show! They let me ride it. The front rack not moving made me feel like I was tripping. I was so happy

[@travisfinucane]

Ah, we saw the mini velo in the thumbnail of the previous MADE video--and were outraged by the lack of coverage. OUTRAGED

[@VanJolene]

I got a tiny glimpse of that Bike Friday when I picked mine up at their shop (I added a pedal assist). I love that they used the carbon belt on that one. The only thing I dislike about my BF NWT is that the derailleur sits so very low to the ground. It is my fave bike ever though. Their frames are guaranteed for life.

[@_caspar]

the calpoly bike is amazing! Looks like you could route the steer cables internally, too

[@logtothebase2]

I like that electric folder from Bike Friday, Tern should take a look at the general layout, The Vectron (I own one) is a thing of wonder but Bike Friday probably weighs about the same as the TIG welding filler used by Tern on the Vectron, there is room in their range for a Lightweight folding commuter. (or just get a Bike Friday folder🙂)

[@roddunne]

Great to see their creativity on all these bikes.

[@FutoiBakaKun]

I really love the way utilitarian bikes are going! ❤

[@MrPhotodoc]

Glad I hung onto all my 20" BMX wheels. Everybody seems to be going that direction.

[@ChesterApricot]

the bars on the destroy bike are sick

[@C345OFR]

Yo, that Schön is *_wild_* ! NGL, the beautiful practicality of the Arbor would win me over in the end but ... wow, what a statement piece, eh?!

[@freemandrew]

I thought the previous video was already overflowing with skill and creativity. But it keeps going! This is crazy. Every bike has a unique story! All of that talent under one roof!

[@nthonyholden]

That Ahearne looks SHARP!

[@SoftComputerMan]

It rules! I'm pretty sure he's going to be offering a steel version as well, he had one at last year's show.

[@black.raven.adventures]

That AhearneCycle is a beauty and really intriguing - Brompton bag mount and all in titanium.

[@ssupriyanto]

Man, gotta love to see more small bikes like those.

[@comounaverdura]

So cool. How can I build my own bike from scratch?

[@Krisna404]

Good to see that SMOL bikes are on the trend 🤟

[@mr.fragile8530]

very interesting video, glad to see more ppl making small bikes, providing more choices

[@SuzyChapsticksArmy]

yo great colors

[@banana122049]

The mini velo bug is biting me and there's no way i can go without one now

[@citizenwolf8720]

That cargo-bike by Colin Reay: Colin if you happen to read this, please get some experienced bikers to try out your designs and work out the kinks and any realibility issues. Talk with good bike mechanics in business (not just in design) and see if there'd be any sticking points with regards maintenance and sourcing parts. Then sell or licence the design so that people from all over the world can have access to it. I see a lot of designs for bikes, and the overwhelming majority are just the same ol same ol. But yours definitely got my attention. The center steer is clearly more complicated, and thus there's always a fear of realibility issues and other unknowns, but the potential upsides that the cargo positioning would be worth the risk, imo.

[@_Schreintime]

Front steer hub was wild

[@Josukegaming]

Love seeing local Portland makers, that btchn bike makes perfect sense for the wild party rides in Portland!

[@dannystarkridesfixed]

The master bike co saddle on the destroy Yee. I keep seeing it as it looks fun and interesting.

[@Potz4pizza]

Damn. I was prepared to be disappointed, cause mini bikes always gather dust with me. But that electric bike friday with the gates belt... Probably going to have to get one eventually. Seems like you could carry a good bit without the size of even a mini cargo bike.... plus folding.

[@jonowee]

While I think simplifying Colin's Cal Poly front hub to something more conventional offset to the side, it's a really nice bike to come to market.

[@C345OFR]

Also, would have loved to have seen more of the platformed Ahearne rando in the background

[@Stiil_tippin_on_4fours]

The 1st bike 🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelbeiyt]

Schön schön

[@napilopez]

So many great smol bikes!

[@stan4oburger]

Muricans finally discovered the geared hub, i hope universal healthcare is next

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Danish SCO already makes bikes like this, with a large wheel behind, as a bike for Commercial use.

[@JohnMFlores]

we should start calling them SMOLvelo!

[@slowwerthensnot]

More awesome stuff Russ!

[@jani724]

Second one is like the bike from Haggard! Diamond bike!!

[@jacksonhill1813]

Anyone know how whether Colin @CalPolyBikeBuilders is going to build (or license that) sweet cargo bike?

[@digdidit2346]

Hell mini yeah!

[@escgoogle3865]

Travel n' gravel bikes make me smile. RIP world troller.

[@paulchoi1461]

Disco bike is groovy

[@bikefriday]

a party on wheels!

[@TheRickurb]

🤯

[@Everything13ish]

Bosche doesnt give one fuck about serviceability, they're literally anti-repair.

[@TESTA-CC]

Cool 🤙🤙

[@logtothebase2]

Great Bikes but i'm not sure I like purple anodising, its starting to feel like colour changing LEDs, fantastic when you first see it. I suppose these exhibitors want to grab attention for their products.

[@triple_alpha]

👌👍

[@harrie205]

thats great

[@LUCKY_LARRY]

These are too "Portland" for me.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

By Portland you must mean fun :)

[@shugobhastudios]

@@PathLessPedaledTV I am in Australia and converted a cheap 20" folding bike to bmx bars with suspension forks haha glad I am on trend

[@glenzigdan]

Lighten up Larry 😅

[@LUCKY_LARRY]

@@shugobhastudios - folding bikes are great! Cargo bikes are incredible.
