Love Some Cargo Bikes

Christiania Cargo Bike

Brenda and I have ridden bikes since we were tots.. but it’s only in the last few years that we ride them everywhere.  Both of us have traditional cross-bikes that are good for road because they have rather skinny tires but can also take some basic trail riding.  We also both have cargo bags attached to a cargo frame above the back tire.  We ride for fun sometimes but mostly we use them to get to and from work, to run errands and in the evenings when we want to go out to eat or to a movie.  Alameda, CA is a super flat city so getting around is pretty easy – so why drive?

I am in love with cargo bikes… I think the utilitarian look and function is actually pretty sexy.  So why not drop that second car and get a cargo bike – nice on the wallet, good for your health and they just look good! Hopefully we will get one someday – soon. This post is a nod to some of the great cargo bikes out on the road and to all the people that use them! Enjoy.
