XTRACYCLE: Cargo Bike, Easy Use and Safe
Cargo Bike |
The Xtracycle cargo bike can take your goods and your kids and along the way it just an easy transportation for your life
Commuting and errand-running by bike for about as long as yours ridden else. So when your family grew to include two careers, one kid, and a busy sports and social calendar, ou and your wife surrendered to life with two automobiles, though neither of us ever completely accepted that the everyday practicality and ease afforded by your motorized vehicles were worthwhile. You can decide to look for a bicycle that could replace one of the cars. You knew that you wanted to spend as little riding time as possible on the most heavily trafficked roads, and sure that you hoped that though you would be riding more often for utility you also would be able to use the opportunity to enjoy some of the lesser-traveled paths. Something that was nimble yet could take a heavy load around town, and that would safely transport your kid to school when he wasn't riding his own bike.
Chosing Xtracycle's Edge-runner 27D Lux Family model! It comes stock with everything you need to haul little people. The solid FlightDeck atop the rear rack is sturdy enough for a couple of kids, the rack itself has footrests, and the extra-large panniers are positioned to keep tiny feet out of the back wheel. You can opted to add the MiniMagic-Carpet for its extra seat padding and also the Hooptie, a waist-high, wraparound bar that serves as both a handhold and extra protection against accidentally jettisoning your most precious cargo.
Brought the bike home for the first time, it was as if I'd showed up with a new puppy: love at first sight. The Hooptie and platform just beg to be climbed up and into. Isaac started asking if we could take "the long bike" whenever we left the house. So we did. On errands and to the market and anywhere else we could think to go. The panniers hold almost a week's worth of provisions. The bike rides light, even when loaded, and smoothly negotiates the back alleys of town. Just like we'd hoped, it is agile and quick. The saddle height adjusts easily, which makes it hassle-free to swap the bike between riders. The biggest issue: The kid's need to see around me as we rode caused a slight imbalance, easily remedied by asking him to sit backward. Which he will loved.
