Take Your Longtail Bike Anywhere
Since its introduction in 2008, many a family have ditched one or both of their cars thanks to Big Dummy. We’ve also seen many entrepreneurs and small business owners minimize their carbon footprint and incorporate Big Dummy into their business model.
Big Dummy is the ultimate grocery getter, the modern day mini-van, the company car, and a human-powered car replacement. It’s all those things and more in that there’s no limit to what it can haul — as long as it falls within the 400-pound weight limit.
- Dedicated single-piece frame increases stiffness and decreases torsional flex
- Human cargo compliant with the use of Dummy Rail Collars
- Vertical, 135mm spaced dropouts with fender eyelets; Rohloff compliant
