We also just got a couple Handlestashes - they are WONDERFUL!

Oh interesting - okay that's good to know! We still haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet. Most things are pretty pricey, but I definitely think it would improve fun and safety on family rides.

I did, yes! Thank you! And had my 3 year old watch it... she's now insisting on a fan for baby!!

Interesting. I got the Mirrcyle because I read it doesn't interfere with the rain cover (which I don't have yet). But it does sort of get in the way of my wrist while maneuvering the bike, so I'm not sure I love it. But it does seem like LOTS of people speak very highly of it. Going to wait...

Does anyone have experience with a communication device between bikes? Looking for something to allow my husband and I to talk more easily when we're all biking as a family. It seems like the top options are either the Sena Pi (device you attach to helmet), Sena helmets, or the Milo device. Just...

Makes total sense. Very similar for us... that third kid carseat spot is just too sweet! We actually just got the UA last week and it is AMAZING. Having so much fun. I've been thinking about upgrading the Aventon to a Tern at some point... but going to just live this for awhile. But maybe the...

Yes agreed!! Haha and can't wait to hear about your milk crating adventures. It's been rocking for us!

YES! And it's funny you should mention parking... that's one of my favorite secret perks of biking. Whenever I bike, I get to park nice and close to the store. This is particularly helpful with my special needs son who can sometimes not have great focus getting into stores. Free parking and...

Soo fun!!! Looks like you guys are having a ball! Can’t wait to join you in the UA club shortly!

Hahahah I get this!! Well hopefully someday soon you’ll get your forestry bike and UA! We were able to test ride at a shop near family so that made it doable…certainly tricky that you can’t find them everywhere!

Oh my gosh too fun! We got the Abound as our “test case” to see if we would use it enough. And thankfully our test worked out brilliantly! Excited to have two bikes now- previously utilized the e-bike rental station near us for the second, but will be nice to just get up and go! Did you get your...

Yes exactly! It’s workable if you can find a little bikeable island! Better than nothing. Hoping to get my neighbors intrigued too to help show demand!

Enjoyed your write up as well! So cool you've been able to do so much. And I felt the same way about the Urban Arrow. It was love at first sight when I first saw one...now 2 years later making it happen!

You know that’s an interesting question…I think it really varies area by area. On the whole I would say “not great” (very similar to most average US cities), but in the last year near me two really great bike lanes have gone in…so slowly there is improvement. Our mayor is a biker, so that brings...

And here it is hauling two large boxes of diapers…easily! It’s awesome.
