Hi Family Bikers!

[Forrest Baum]

Hey all, I’ll kick off Family Biking!

I’ve family biked for almost two decades now, starting by making do with a trailer and trail-a-bike with my older son. Then we moved to a Yepp seat, unassisted Bike Friday Haul-a-Day longtail, built up a Metrofiets front box bike with e-assist. Now we have three cargo bikes as we mainly ride an Xtracycle RFA midtail, and everyone insists on riding on their own. We’re now usually all riding our own standard bikes (with racks for hauling) unless taking a cargo bike shopping or bike camping!

How do you bike with your family?

Any questions or ideas you’d like to try?

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.

Now we are car free with 2 cargo bikes and use them for everything.
We got my long tail bike because our son is a few good meals away from reaching its weight limit.
