    medium dog in bucket bike - thoughts a year in

    That's helpful advice and makes a ton of sense! I'd probably rather have my dog pull me off the bike than pull the bike (though obviously I'd rather avoid both). I'll start conditioning with treats and praise for being leashed to me in the stationary bike for a few moments and go from there.

    Philadelphia

    With its dense blocks, narrow streets, and separated bike trails, Philadelphia is an awesome place to explore by bike! Of course, there is also much room for improvement (e.g. better traffic enforcement and more concrete-protected lanes). Would love to hear from other Philly-based cargobikers...

    medium dog in bucket bike - thoughts a year in

    I love this! I have a 50 lb pittie mix I'd love to have the option of transporting in my Urban Arrow. Do you have any insights on mounting something for leash attachment somewhere deep in the box? I would slowly train her to stay in the box unattached but would like to have something for peace...

    Best secure bike shed for cargo bikes

    I keep most of my bikes in a resin shed behind my rowhome in Philadelphia with an abus lock on the door. The main theft deterrent there is just getting them out of sight, since a motivated thief could cut through the plastic pretty easily. I've insured my most expensive bikes and having them in...

    Hi from Nashville!

    We got the Abound after I bought my own ebike for riding around and running errands by myself. The Abound seemed perfect for growing from a one to two-child family, but we eventually decided we wanted something more versatile. Also, and especially if we end up having a third kid, the car seat...

    Urban Arrow Family Cargo Bike Review: The Ultimate Car Replacement?

    Rain cover looks and feels great! It makes me feel like I'm carting my 2-year-old son around in his own little spaceship :) The bottom of the bucket is line with drainage holes so you don't accidentally end up immersing your cargo in a cold bath whenever it rains.

    Urban Arrow Family Cargo Bike Review: The Ultimate Car Replacement?

    We just got one a couple weeks ago! Family model with cargo line motor. Had it delivered from Propel Wilmington to our home in Philadelphia. Have the rain cover and baby seat attachments. It will be used to carry our two kids and possibly our dog (?) Looking forward to connecting to other owners!

    Hi from Nashville!

    Incredible! We are also an Abound family who just started transitioning to the Urban Arrow a couple weeks ago. I imagine bike in Nashville is pretty different than it is here in Philadelphia, but I'm sure both cities have their challenges and require mixing with auto traffic more than we'd like...

    Urban Arrow Family in Philadelphia

    Hi everyone! My name is Nathan. We are a family of 3 (soon to be 4!) living without a car in Philadelphia. While expecting our second, we decided to swap our Aventon Abound with an Urban Arrow. My wife also rides a Tern HSD solo or when carrying our son, and I ride a Momentum Voya E+ that I...
