BOTM: JOBRAD U.P. - part 2

Andy Kessler - 07-Mar-2019
In part 1 of the JobRad limited edition I explained you why this limited edition is something very special to me. I am not talking about the crazy paint job, but about governments and organisations trying to bring as many as possible people on bikes. I personally think cycling is a great way to keep fit, healthy and every bike on the road is a good bike no matter what the price tag is.

I still have that dream to do one day this very cool, minimalistic and lightweight foldable bike for commuting. I always try to convince Gerard but then he always comes up with his dream of designing a cargo bike ....

At the end I guess both is totally against our "working hard to stay small" thing but one day...

Sorry, I lost track a bit now back to the JobRad edition and the beauty shots of it.

You're so right about bikes on the road- they help us all, and are an important part of climate and social action. I just wish the big bike companies would take more of an active role at the community and national levels in this regard.

The matching wheels are killer! And where can I get one of those invisible kick stands?

You can actually see it in a few of the photo's. Looks like a very small diameter steel rod.

we call it the "Schtick" but actually its a welding rod. We normally take a branch laying around but you can be sure that when you need one - also if you are in the forrest there is none! Thats why Marc our photographer came up with the welding rod idea that works perfect. Normally he retouches them but this time he was about to leave for a cycling trip in Columbia with some girls so I think his mind was somewhere else....

I’m going to side with Gerard, an Open cargo bike would be awesome ?? It would pair nicely with our Open fleet of bicycles.
We just picked up a Surly Big Easy cargo bike to replace a car in the Family, it has one of those funny looking batteries attached, hopefully that will encourage everyone in the family to grab the bike before the car.

I'm not a supporter of the BREXIT "Have you cake and eat it" philosophy, but a folding commute bike, that 'docks' with a cargo section - Hey,maybe the cargo section could find separately too? Thankfully my "MAX-FAC" daydreams apply only to bicycles and not to politics.

All BOTM OPEN bikes look so sick! However, one thing I've noticed with them (UP, UPPER) is the very small clearance available from the rear tire to the seat tube. I love my UP but recently on a gravel event (raining pretty much all day) I got stuck quite a few times b/c of the mud build up between the rear tire and seat tube. Was using ENVE G23 with WTB NANO 700x40. May be I'll try a slightly smaller tire? Don't want to have to purchase a set of 650 rims.
