Ever since I built my first cargo bike and uploaded some pictures of that build to reddit, I've been getting a lot of questions about the bike, how to make it and on cargo bikes in general. The interest in that old post is actually one of the things that drove me to build more things and create videos. Since so many people seem to be interested in building this kind of bike, I've finally decided to put out a proper tutorial on how to build one. Even with a long video like this, it's impossible to include all the necessary information like measurements, so I also made a set of plans to cover all the numbers and theoretical stuff.
A silent video wouldn't have worked for this because there is so much to explain and I want to actually help people build their own stuff some more in the future instead of just "showing off".
So this is a deviation from the video format I used to do so far and I'm interested to hear how the audience likes it. I'm considering making more videos like this that focus on teaching/explaining things more, but don't worry, it doesn't mean this will be the only kind of video from now on!
