I wrecked my RydeANDRA40, probably by using too much pressure on cobblestone and pothole ridden roads.

It’s a cargobike and I‘m 15 kilos below maximum driver’s weight and even further away from the maximum weight, but there’s nonetheless a high probability for a fatigue fracture. I forgot to open my lock before pushing my bike more than once, so there could have been loose spokes.

The guy from my local cargobike shop^tm^ said the wheel he ordered for me is a bit more robust and I will take better care of my spokes. So I hope, this won’t happen again…
