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.

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

Excellent tips! Thank you so much! Will check it out. How often do you use the chain lube?

Oooo nice - that's so slick!! Can never have enough cupholders haha. And congrats on the new UA! Did yours come with mirrors on it? If so, are you happy with them?

Excellent - moved to immediate! Thank you!

Okay noted! Thanks so much!

We're getting ready to accept delivery of a new Urban Arrow and starting the planning process. I have accessories I'd like sorted into categories, but I'd love feedback on things you have and love or any specific recommendations! Immediate Locks (U-lock and a chain? Additional locks? US-based...

Hi there from Nashville! Currently riding an Aventon Abound (for the past year) and expecting our Urban Arrow delivery any day now! We have a special needs 6 year old so we've had both the top kid spot + trailer to keep our two oldest separated. But now they've been doing much better interacting...
