Splendid Bicycles for Cargo and Kids
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Picture a sofa perched on a bicycle for its move across town! Thatapos;s how Portlanders Joel and Barb Grover transported items too big or awkward for a car. More and more folks in bicycle-friendly terrain are using cargo bikes for their in-town transportation needs ? carrying kids, groceries, purchases and goods for market. Creative cycle design is thriving, as Joel shows in numerous cargo cycle models, and local builder Joseph Ahearne shows with his Cycle Truck. Take a test spin with Janaia, who is having too much fun in a box-fronted tricycle and learning how to steer a "long tail." Episode 238.

I am a retiree who needs a cargo bicycle to carry laundry. How much do these cost? No one seems to care about the cost of these bikes.

Some cities and states encourage bikes.......... they provide safe walking and biking lanes and trails. Cities also should encourage businesses and apartments to provide safe places to lock or store a bicycle. Encourage your elected officials to do more. Speak up.. become an advocate for bicycle use in your city.

Great video, very informative. And the truth is how can I not look into to an electric assist cargo bike that can has a round trip range of 60 miles? Awesome.

That a green SUV if there ever was one.

Awesome. I just sold my van one month ago, and am riding my bike to do errands (usually 1 mile or two from my house). I needed to get exercise, and could no longer afford upkeep of my old van. Glad 2 see there are others who think similarly.

Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your channel. I recently sold my car, got myself a bike, and am loving using it to get around in Boston when not using the T. I was thinking of saving $ for a scooter, but now I know I will save for one of these bikes! Saw one this morning, made by Madsen, its rider gave it great reviews! It was similar to the pink one featured here, with a different type of front basket. Their website is their name "madsencycles"

How about a recumbant/cargo bike?

I think Portland's where it's all happening these days. Another great episode!

Nice bikes! great show. In the UK we sometimes use bike trailers but those stretch bikes look great.
