I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
I own an Xpedition and can confirm that it’s a great bike. (I didn’t have the choice to shell out for anything less because my primary use-case was carrying two kids, and when it comes to cargo bikes that one’s literally the cheapest option.) That said, an Xpedition would definitely also suck if you had to pedal it without assist (even on flat ground, frankly), so I’m glad I got the dual-battery version just in case.
