I agree the Bionx helps make good cargo bikes, but also good trailer
haulers out of regular bikes as well. Here is a pic of my 53cm Bleriot,
with Bionx 26" rear wheel, and cargo trailer.

Hi Cecily. I was recently diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis and needed help to

The NuVinci is an internally geared hub with a continuously variable
transmission (CVT), not a power assist unit, although I can see how its
bulk might make one wonder if there was a motor inside.
I work in a bike shop that specializes in cargo bikes, and we have sold a
number of cargo bikes
