We are at the point where our 5 year old wants to ride everywhere and then suddenly doesn’t. So we have to end up having to strap it down to our front rack. How are you currently handling this and transport your child and their bike to and from? Anyone carrying there’s like the yellow bakfiets?

I’ve really come to enjoy those midweek trips and now starting plan them when meal prepping. I gotta say, I do love the little conversations and questions I get with the people when they see a bike there to pick up food rather than the usual car.

Kudos to Hiplok, my DX1000’s plastic case broke and I emailed them and they quickly mailed me a new replacement plastic cover.

When looking for a cargo e bike, the maintenance and serviceability by a local bike shop was key in deciding which bike to get. It why we ended up with a Globe Haul. I have 4 shops within 5 miles of me that sell and service them. Also important to note I don’t own a car so that’s another reason...

One of my biggest pieces of advice I have for people wanting to turn some car trips into bike trips is start with basic groceries. We started with small items like bell peppers, peanut butter, milk, and toothpaste. Then slowly a full backpacks worth. After a few months, we finally decided to...

Being a mountain biker and it being what put us on this car free/cargo bike lifestyle, the Orox is what I wish I’d have. Orox s12 with captain chair is my current dream bike.

Welcome fellow Arizonan! I have a 5 year old who loves all things bikes and trains.

Welcome! On a work trip to the twin cities a few years ago, I was absolutely blown away by how many people and families I saw on bikes. I had no idea MN got down like that. I have so many question about owning and operating a cargo bike shop.

Welcome! What part pf Chicago are you in and how do you feel about the current/upcoming bike infrastructure?

Yup that’s me and we were there at that event too. Jaime is awesome - shameless plug to my interview on the podcast Urban Avenues - Trail Nachos interview

Were you able to get a good deal by doing a group buy? @smitty2k1 , We got our 3 using the REI member discount too. Hard to beat

We are huge fans of our Specialized Globe Haul ST. So much so that after a year, we decided to get me my own LT version. For the majority of its 1000 miles it’s been used as a kid carrier with a Thule Yepp Maxi rack mounted seat. We’ve had zero issues with our bikes, the addition of the Tannus...

It’s been awesome living here and they make very easy to go car free. The complex has probably doubled in size since you last visited. If your ever back in town let us know

We started this whole car free cargo bike family journey through mountain biking. before our son could ride on his own we purchased a Kidsrideshotgun seat which allowed us to take him on some of the trails. We also started using it off the trails and started doing grocery trips with it too...
