Surly Big Dummy - Twilight Zone
Cargo Hauling / 1 to 2 Passengers / Longtail
Big Dummy is Surly's analog longtail, the bike that makes you rethink how you carry everything. Since 2008 it has helped families ditch a car, helped businesses cut deliveries down to pedal power, and moved more friends' apartments than anyone can count. Load it with a month of groceries, lumber from the hardware store, your kids, or anything else under the 400 lb rider-and-cargo limit. No motor, no battery, no charging. Just steel and gears.
Every complete comes with the paint-matched Dummy Deck, Dummy Rails, Rail Collars and Big Dummy Bags v2.0, so it hauls the day you take it home.
