Bikes I Dig

I am going to start a segment here on our blog called “bikes I dig”.


So here goes our first segment of bikes I dig.

This is a Surly Big Dummy equiped with a NuVinci continuously variable transmission rear hub.

The Big Dummy is a long wheel based cargo bike. It is like a fully loaded touring bike on steroids.

The NuVinci hub is one of the most interesting designs I have seen on a bicycle component ever. Really interesting. I only barely understand how it works and it makes me want one real bad. I am thinking about putting it on my steel peugot.

Check the video.



I hope there are alot more bikes that look like this in the future.
