- A wonderful day lugging stuff around on my Monopole Cargo bike.
Stopping off at Hitch to pick up my Probably Riding hats, then at Calico to check out the sample of the Probably riding shirt. Should be for sale in the next month or so. Keep an eye out for info.

Asking for a friend? I hope this means great things for you both.
💙💙
Urban arrow! But it’s absolutely an e bike… also not quite your classic style but it is a wildly good and unique take on urban mobility.
Happy for youuuu :)
I'm based in the U.S. and I just gotta say how much I enjoy your soothing, relaxing videos in the midst of all this chaos. I look forward to your videos. :)
Wow, thank you! The world is in chaos but there’s some things we can control.
@@probablyriding I second that first comment wholeheartedly 🚲☕🏞❤🙏 I discovered your videos/channel by chance with the Tokyo Toilet Tour (A man of my heart) and stayed for the calm and inspiring videos. They've really helped my roommate's and my mental health and inspired them to buy a bicycle and start riding and inspired me to try to ride more than just commuting and to have a few too many late night decaf coffees ☕🙏 I also finally got around to watching Perfect Days after wanting to since hearing about it when it came out. Infinite and eternal Thanks, I'm sure you're inspiring and bringing peace to so many out there 💛🙏 Also, congratulations on the wee one(s) 👶💚🙏 If you're ever in Canada (Ottawa) or I'm ever in Seoul I would love to have some coffees, join the clean bowl club, and probably ride our bikes 🚲🙏
The new channel logo is so so cute! Also can’t wait the shirts😃
Thanks! The shirts are on their way!
Great video as always. True highlight of bleak, wet European winter. Love the shirt and I hope to get my hands on one of the caps one day. Best wishes from Poland to you and everyone watching!
Thanks! International shipping will be available.
Glad to see the cameo of the OG cargo bikes. My oldest bike memories in Korea are of one guys carrying a squealing piglet and another carrying sheet glass, all with multiple reinforcing members. I occasionally see some homebrew cargo bikes out here in the country. The need is there, and your Monopole is really a cool solution.
Love those OG cargo bikes here with their extremely long wheels base.
Thank you so much for creating this channel; it brings me so much joy in the same way i love bikes
I'm glad you enjoy the channel! 😊
For two kids a long tail cargo bike with a low rear wheel is great. It gets the centre of mass lower and the longer deck can hold a combination of cushion or Yepp kids seats (Yepp are excellent - all of ours kids loved our seat). Put the Yepp at the back and a set of those mini bars on the seat post.
Lots of the long deck bikes can be fitted with a frame to help protect kids and foot plates that also double as extra support for the panniers. Make sure you get the panniers - kids seem to require all sorts of extra stuff!!
Oh and lovely news, very happy for you both!
Sounds like a great setup. Thanks for the suggestion.
Absolutely love your videos and vibes
Sounds like a great setup! When the infrastructure is there, people will use it.
Ive been riding an electric harry vs larry bullitt the past couple years and I love it! Use it to lug my work tools to the various locations I work around chicago. As well as running errands or bringing friends in the front to the next pub. I see a lot of urban arrows around Chicago with multiple kids in the front! Seems to be a great option but it does seem large.
The Bullitt is a classic. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Love the coffee shops there. No disposables.
Yes, a nice development over the last few years. Disposables used to be standard, and you had to ask to have in a mug. I don't go to the cafes that only serve in disposables.
I have an analog Bullitt with a Convoy EVO box. Great for transporting my son and loads of stuff around my (flat) Dutch city.
A classic cargo bike.
expensive bike though.
Would love to see some maximalist bike packing with the cargo bike! Your channel is amazing btw so unique and i find your videos so easy to rewatch for some reason. Congratulations!
Great suggestion! Thanks for your kind words too.
Love all the new recent little changes to the channel, such as the logo! And the shirt looks sick! Hopefully i will be able to get my hands on one here in the US.
Thanks! International shipping will be available.
Great stuff, can't wait to get a shirt and hat.( I missed a hat last time around. ) Congrats.
Thank you! I’ll post the sales schedule when I know.
I love the OG cargo bikes! TheSangju Bicycle museum has a few. I especially love the creative variety of front fork "reinforcements" (don't know how much strength it adds). It's interesting how the same modifications are made across bicycles and motorbikes: the rear is lengthened either by extending the swinging arm or by bending the exposed seatpost forwards; also, the ladder-like vertical rack behind the rider to accommodate tall goods.
They’re certainly creative. They don’t loon very comfortable though. I’m yet to try one.
Shirt looks clean. great cycling merch, will look for a cap soon as well
Awesome thank you!
Love the video it’s so calming where I cycle its noises and crazy.
Glad you liked it! Hope there are some nice parts of where you ride too.
After hunting for ages I finally found an old Xtracycle kit last year and used it to turn my '90s GT Avalanche into a long tail cargo bike. I love it! I have hauled my niece around on it, adding a set of passenger handlebars mounted to my seat post. It was perfect for that but still not ideal for two kids.
The shirt looks great!
The xtracyxle kit looks nice. My friend just got a similar kit but for the front by Argo.
Built one of the first if not the first Xtracycle in Tokyo. It was awesome fun hauling the kids around town. 30 years 3 kids no car
@ that’s awesome!
Thanks for another great video! And for the shoutout 🙂 Love the shirt, btw.
You bet, glad you liked it!
the OGs knows that this is reupload
The last upload failed my quality assurance check.
Some new Probably Riding branding appeared too!
Really cool shirt. Good to know you were able to utilized some recycled material for production! Love shirts like that for summer sun.
Thanks!
Love all your bikes. Also been looking for a bike check on that Surly for ages. It’s so good. Thanks
Thanks!
I love the shirt and the new logo!!
Thanks!
Love the shirt. Definitely going to try grab one when they are available!
Thanks, I'll keep you posted!
Love the new logo!
Thanks!
The cargo bike looks awesome; thanks, as always, for sharing.
Thanks!
Please please make a women's version of the shirt -- would love to rep probably riding merch!
Thanks for reaching out. Just in the beginning of my merch journey right now. Starting off with small amounts of limited sizes and hopefully more range in the future! I'll share the sizing chart later.
There is indeed a weird pleasure in moving heavy things, by bike. I really feel the comments around 6:50. I've thought about it a lot, trying to figure out where this joy comes from compared to the stress of moving anything in a car... I think it's partly because you operate with no time expectancy anymore. You get to enjoy the process, the journey.
Have you tried moving using mostly the bike? It's a next level challenge, but mostly doable except for the heaviest pieces (looking at you, solid oak table....)
A local roaster has started stocking up coffee shipped by sail, so I'm looking forward to biking it across Denmark to some colleagues, and preserving the low carbon impact nature of the coffee. Of course I'll be doing it on my Omnium Mini :D
You described it perfectly. I moved partly by bike in London. A van for the big stuff and then multiple bike trips on my Pelago Bristol. Good fun.
just stumbled on this vid. i want to visit Seoul now, and that bike is pretty sweet. this is the type of cargo bike a dream of. the shirt is very dapper, i'd like to see two chest pockets for symmetry and to balance weight when loaded - probably phone in one and small note book in the other.
Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻
It’s a very classy shirt. It looks roomy and comfortable and like it would breathe well in warmer humid weather. I might try riding with my iPhone in the pocket- where it would stay paired with my hearing aids as I stream music or podcasts while riding. Wishing you the best on this venture. Thank you as always for the interesting and calming video!
Thank you!
i have two kids aged 8 and 2 and we have been using Aventon Abound Cargo bike for over a year and we love it and bought another. its a rear cargo bike and can fit 2 kids easly. its a good bike and if i had more money i would have bought a bakfiets style bike instead but this is good too.
Great to hear you're enjoying your Abound!
I completed my degree in my 40’s in 2002, we had a guy give a talk on logistics, he started a logistics company after he left the army, he said back then, small items, such as plumbing,electrical fittings and ironmongery were quicker to deliver by bike in London, his company was the logistics company that was responsible for the building at Paternoster Square
Nice 👍🏻 He sounds quite forward thinking for that time.
오늘도 잘 봤습니다 👍
고맙습니다! 😊
When my children were younger, I used - at different times - a rear child-seat, and later, a seat bolted to the crossbar with foot-rests on the downtube.
For utilitarian reasons, I now ride an Elephant-Bike (ex post-office Pashley Pronto/Mailstar) for shopping and general errands. You could easily seat two children on the rear-rack with an appropriate double seat.
Nice suggestions. Thanks
@probablyriding I used one of those single-wheel tag-along trailers for about a year to take my daughter to school and back. It effectively turns your bike into tandem, but I found it really disconcerting how the whole thing clunked from side to side on bends and corners, so I sold it and encouraged her to ride her own bike instead - under supervision of course.
Love the shirt! Can't wait to snag one.
Thanks!
The shirt looks good. Looking forward to getting one or two or three.
Thanks!
I've been using a BOB trailer with a Surly Ogre for about a decade. Greatway to carry a bunch of stuff and still have a bike that's useful in many different situations.
That sounds like a solid combination.
I used a Harry vs Bullit for a week with my daughter. She loved it but I found it was a bit cumbersome. Also because bike infrastructure is not at all designed for longer bicycles. Tight turns and "Umlaufgitter"(German), which are basically there to hinder cars from entering bicycle paths, are often times hard to navigate. But that's also true if you use a bicycle trailer or anything that's longer than your "standard" bicycle. However, I think long tail bikes look interesting. I expect they feel more like riding a "normal" bicycle. And they seem to be good at lugging kids around ;) Especially older ones (3/4 years plus). For very small children, I think I prefere a bike trailer. It's low to the ground, so they can access it as soon as they can walk. And you can use it together with basically any bicycle. And you can store both separately. A bonus if you have to carry your bike over stairs in order to store it.
I was thinking a long tail might be better for multiple kids. Good call with the trailer though. My colleague uses one and his daughter loves it.
I towed kids around in a trailer and grandkids on a long tail. I really think the bakfiet is the best because you have your children in front and can see them. Lots of great brands, but another option is the argo cargo version 2. You have great bikes so you just add a bakfiet box up front to your already awesome bike. If money is no object Riese and Mueller seems to be the cats meow. Good luck if your “friend” needs a cargo bike.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Nice shirt and nice logo (I know, I just noticed)! Seems very well thought out and good quality. Much luck on your new venture!
Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully, the shirts will become very popular.
For (small) kids, the muli is great.
A few a have mentioned. Look great!
New rebrand, who dis?
At first I thought someone in a balaclava had hacked and stolen your account 😅😂
I love to see any examples of bicycles moving things around.
Love the Probably Riding x Calico shirt. As I've said before, I'm not a hat person, but I look forward to buying a shirt soon 😊
Thanks for sharing, Marcus 💚 enjoy the rest of your Sunday ✌🏼
Glad you like the shirt. I’m excited!
I have an Urban Arrow for bringing my daughter around, and my second daughter in a few months when she’s big enough. Seriously heavy but it’s very safe and sturdy.
They look great. I think I like the front loading style for kids so you can chat to them more easily.
@@probablyriding yeah she loves chatting away up there. I just prefer being able to see her as well.
Great stylin shirt!😊
Thanks! 😊
The Probably Riding shirt is kind of the perfect merch
Thanks!
Loving the soundtrack on this one.
Yes!
Thanks!
That bike needs a rear rack for that second box! The shirt looks great.
👍🏻
Love the shirt
Thanks 👍🏻
Love the shirt. Utilitarian but maintains the elegance... Great pocket for a few bourbon creams!
Easy access for a nice riding snack!
cool new channel logo ahhh!!!!!
😀
As a father of 2 kids, learning from experience, I would recommend to carry children on a Thule Coster XT towing charriot. The children enjoy it, plus it also makes unnecessary to buy a charriot to take walks with them. Towing it, make it compatible with any bike.
My colleague uses one of those. His daughter likes it. Thanks for the rec.
@@probablyriding Congratulations! BTW
Love the shirt! Would love to buy it and buy Calico wear here in Europe 😢
Thanks! International shipping will be possible.
@ Amazing news! Can’t wait 🙌
I’d definitely buy a shirt in that design
Awesome! The one in production is basically the same with some tiny alterations in dimensions.
@ I really like the pocket . A lot of contemporary ‘cycling wear’ has no pockets or pockets in the wrong places for ‘sat up’ riding . Plus the shirt will complement my probably riding hat :-)
The Le Petit Porteur Longtail might be a good example of a short wheelbase cargo bike for two kids.
Thanks for the suggestion! They look great.
I very much like my Bike Friday Haul a Day cargo bike. It's compact, but still can carry two kids plus some load. There are similar models from other manufacturers: Tern GSD, Bicicapace Justlong, Le Petit Porteur, ....
I’ve seen them before but just took a closer look. Even better and more innovative than I thought.
New logo, same good vibes 🙏
Thanks!
The shirt is 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
10:04 😃 awesome art! 10:04
Yeah! It was a stamp shop. For stamping documents.
Greetings from Greece.
Γειά σου
Cargo bikes are very interesting alternative for the noisy mopeds in the city environment. Thanks for this.
Visiting Seoul in April so I really hope your new merch will (still) be available by then so that I can get my hands on them!
Nice! Keep an eye out for the updates.
Hell yeah, cargo bikes! Screw the cages😂
👍🏻
Where I live (northern uk city) bakfiets are very popular as cargo bikes and transport for small children .
They look great. 👍🏻
Thanks for videos. Também uso a bicicleta todos os dias para o trabalho. Acredito mesmo que a bicicleta seja a solução para muitos problemas do trânsito.
Thank you!
What's that silly frog on the saddle on the Long haul trucker? looks super cool.
Not sure. I’ll ask.
@@probablyriding Thanks! It's so cute.
Nice new logo! Minimalism rules. 🚲
Thank you!
What are your thoughts/how do you like the belt drive? Any pros and cons from your perspective?
Belt drive is great. It is clean, quiet and zero maintenance. Good range with the 12 speed pinion too. Cons: It's very expensive.
I wanna get a Muli for lugging my dog around 😄
A few a have mentioned that one. Looks great!
I can’t not hear Fecal Coffee :P
Curious how you manage bike fleet storage with an apartment. Are they kept in underground parking?
Love the logo :)❤
💩
just in case you need to carry more stuff then look into an Omnium Mini / Mini Max or even the Cargo. :D
Tried one in Copenhagen last winter. Was fun to ride with my wife sitting on the front!
I love cargo ebiking
Nice 👍🏻
Nice shirt! I'd over stuff that pocket with that much space.
Fonts are changing on old videos too? I do see videos from other channels using the same old font, it can get confusing at times.
Thanks. I decided to have a more uniform and streamlined look, moving away from the obvious Canva font!
new font. new profile picture. and new merch? 2025 is shaping up to be a great year for Probably Riding!
A lot to look forward to! Thanks!
You got one on the way? Congrats man if so. I couldn’t imagine my life with my son he’s so funny. Have you heard of yuba cargo bikes? Either those or I’d go with a surly big easy. Cheers.
Thanks 🤩 Haven’t heard of Yuba. Will check then out.
I think smaller cargo bikes, like yours, could/should become a thing in urban areas&cities. I just think they are too expensive from what i've seen atm. I guess its still a niche market and because of this they are expensive.
For sure. Out of reach for a lot of people but prices will come down with time, hopefully.
Hi, just curious, what were all the streetside flower arrangements for?
They had messages that of support for the impeached president and pro-martial law messages. Madness!
The box doesnt interfere steering?
All good if the box is far enough forward.
Our next bike will 100% have some cargo characteristics. The monopole is now on the list.
Can’t wait for the merch, please post here when it’s available, I don’t have Instagram. 🚲
It's a nice little cargo bike. No worries, I will post on here too!
I don't ever hear you "dinging" a bell in any of these videos. Do you use bells on any of your bikes? Are they not effective when navigating the shared spaces of Seoul?
I talk about it in some of my videos. Sometimes I feel people just get even more in the way when I use the bell.
I don’t get why so many people walk in bike lanes. You’re very patient, I’d be shouting at them!
I try to accept the ‘cultural difference’. I do say something off camera sometimes. 😇
Where did you get that cashmere balaclava? I could really use one here in Minneapolis.
Arpenteur in Lyon, France.
항상 라이딩영상 잘보고 있습니다! 저도 카고바이크 타보고 싶네요 ㅎㅎ 앞으로도 좋은 영상 부탁드려요~ ^^
아 혹시 착용하신 바라클라바 어디제품인지 알려주실수 있나요? 저도 자전거 탈때 착용하면 좋을것 같아서요 ㅎㅎ 색깔이 너무 이쁘네요 😊
감사합니다. Arpenteur에서 샀어요.

What body camera do you use?!

New profile pic who dis!
😀
Omnium cargo bike, not as nimble as the monopoly, but more capacity.
I take the big kid in the cargo seat area, I have a Shotgun seat for the little one in front of me, and the baby goes in the hamax on the rear rack
Tried one in Copenhagen last winter. Was fun to ride with my wife sitting on the front!
Check out the Muli bike.
A popular choice in the comments 👍🏻
eMuli-st for a small, 2 kid cargo bike
A few people have suggested that. Looks great.
“What is the best cargo bike for lugging kids around?”. 😂
👍🏻
Hello for Colorado USA. Thanks for the share !
Thank you!
Your MonoPole. is missing a rear rack!
I think it’s good without one but they do have an option with rear rack mounts.
Alright… I was just considering the second package…
@ 😅
I am sorry, but for a small east asian country South Korea had been pretty hostile towards cyclists and cycling infrastructure. I see cargo bikes in the carbrained US all the time, but only bikes I see in South Korea were either uber expensive aero roadbikes, carbon MTBs, or straight up BSOs from department stores. Hope it changed while I left.
There’s a growing number of people riding for daily life, not just leisure. Still a way to go.
For hauling my two kids, living in Singapore (flatter but much hotter than Seoul) i am ordering a Le Petit Porteur Longtail.
Enough space for 2 kids plus their school kit. From end to end it’s about the same length as my Trek hybrid. And even more importantly it’s a mixte and green!
Lovely. Always liked the look of that bike.
밥 잘 먹었습니다
네~~~~
these bikes are Nice. but way too expensive.
Being made in France, they’re not cheap.
Maybe it is the future in some sort of post apocalyptic world
Why do you think so?
If you stop flying around the world I sell my car, deal?
Good call but it’s not just the environmental impact. Cities would just be a nicer and safer place to live with fewer cars and more bikes.
