Cargo Racks for Bike Friday New World Tourist
I just acquired a used New World Tourist. I don't know how old it is. I do know I need front and rear racks, if only to camoflage it so it doesn't look like a clown bike. So I put an old TransIt rack on the back: it more or less fits, though I'll have to adjust it to remove about a 10 degree slant back-to-front. But what about a front rack? The Bike Friday cargo racks are kind of pricy. Is there something cheaper I can do?
I love this bike, by the way. 24 speed. I can't say it rides like my hybrid, but it certainly tackles hills like my hybrid. And the combined derailler/internal hub gearing is certainly interesting. I'm pretty sure I'll never fold it. But my "main" bike (a Trek Verve 2) is so big that the BF is going to be a lot easier to schlep around when I don't want to get upper body exercise putting a bike on a rack.
But, anyway: racks?
