* Making roadworthy vehicles is delicate enough not to improvise too much at first. Hence, this project is currently being led in a spirit of carefully following existing documentation.
* The first thing to build is not the bike itself but a BikeBench (see below under Components). A BikeBench ([https://fixme.ch/wiki/BikeBench this wiki's page]) is a jig / workbench for bicycle-based creations, designed and implemented by Thomas Viebach from Werkstatt Lastenrad.
=== Use phase ===
* Owners usually don't use their cargo bikes every day, sharing them makes a lot of sense, therefore we suggest: http://www.velogistics.net/en/
* The people behind [http://www.velogistics.net/en/ velogistics] are in part the same people behind Werstatt Lastenrad (in this case Tom Hansing from Cologne) and we are in touch with each other
* We're also in touch with [http://www.velogistics.net/en/cargobike/239 Arnaud Nicolay, Daniel Genoud & Co (PRO VELO Région Lausanne) who lend their 2 Bullit longjohns through Velogistics]. By the way they have a workshop in Lausanne, [http://www.pro-velo-lausanne.ch/v2011/association/maison-du-velo/ la Maison du Vélo], which could have some useful tools.
