I had to take my kid carrier for a tune-up. I can't walk back from the bike shop like a simple peasant.

Brompton is absolutely a game changer for multimodal transportation if your not taking kids.

My wife and I both have bromptons, and I recently got this very secure, but inexpensive seat post child carrier that works with the brompton. The only problem is it screws on and I cannot lower my seat with it, so it interferes with thr fold a bit. I'm going to experiment with quick release seat post clamps on it, which I think should be quite secure (same company has a similar seat post, it just comes with QR seatpost clamps and is less available and more expensive)

Crosspost, but took my B along (2014 M6R, well used, well loved, excellent condition) to drop my Bike Friday off for a Tune Up

The brompton mudguards are Nisna, they stopped making them. The Bime Friday are recently custom made by Woody's Custom Fenders. They are gorgeous IMO. I have 2.25 inch studded tires on in the winter that the stock fenders were no Bueno for.

Oh yeah, my rear cog on my bike friday was skipping, and I couldn't personally get it quite right, so off to the shop it went. Chain is still good.

The orange bike is a bike friday haul a day MK4 (Heavy duty of old version, the changed the Haul-a-Day this past year). It's rated for 520lbs. It carries my kids great. I use a Tern storm shield and storm box on it usually, but I stripped it down for the bike shop.

The folding one is a Brompton M6R. Love it. Best thing for multi modal transport.

I'm looking for large, battery powered customizable Bluetooth buttons

This would be great, I'm okay with hubitat and smartthings (i havent used completely off of wifi, but i have a few hubs laying around), but I have a few limitations I'm not sure how to get around.. this is purely for personal convenience and IT surely would not sign off on anything network connected due to hippa.

If there was a way to have a zigbee or wave button system that was independent of a wifi network that would at least send a message to my phone, that would be ideal. I'm not sure how to do that.

Edit: I haven't had my smartthings or hubitat set up for about 8 months since I moved, but if there was a way to have them running, not constantly connected to wifi (other than when I initially set up), and have them send a message to my phone, I think that would be a pretty sweet set up.

It's been a bit since I used smartthings, I remember the local stuff being so so and it seemed like it was taken away (perhaps I'm misremembering this). I was never as facile with hubitat to be honest, but if this is possible I'd love to look into it.
