I was brought back to the bicycle as transportation by the Dutch and the Netherlands. That inspiration spread to my wife, who is from Brazil and did not grow up on a bike. Over the last so many years, she learned to ride and became enabled by Tern bicycles. Started with the Vektron and quickly transitioned into the Tern HSD. I've went through a few Dutch bikes including WorkCycles and now Urban Arrow. Without e-cargo bikes, we'd be full time motorists. Especially for those of us living in North America, ebikes and e-cargo bikes are the bandaid on sprawl and poor infrastructure until we begin to design healthier cities and even then, they will have their dominant place in transportation.

*I'm big on sharing photos and videos.

Welcome! I believe when we first started getting into being carlite, I started following you on Twitter a few years back and it was so cool to see you on your urban arrow.

Happy to hear you're living that life as well! I'm still doing the social media thing, but exclusively on Bluesky and occasional live bike rides on the YouTube channel.
