Family Biking Friends!

9/9/2014

4 Comments

 
When we started riding with our kids, it always felt like a rolling freak show because of the stares and comments we constantly received. However, the more we rode, the more we found our community (and our community found us!). It seems like every day now we bump into our friends or meet new cargo biking friends. It's also so much easier to stop (or keep riding) and chat for a bit than it would be if we were all driving. We don't feel so weird anymore (relative, I suppose, to our general weirdness). Check out just a few of our awesome local friends and their get-ups. 
Picture
Melissa and her kiddos on their electric F8. Whew, it's hard to catch them!
Picture
Kevin and his kiddo on our HaulaDay (our friends can share our bikes, too! That's how we convert many of them anyway).
Picture
Neil's Nihola with munchkin safely ensconced.
Picture
Jarrod's (of 8legs2wheels.com) ever-changing, always unique Yuba Mundo set-up.
Picture
Keith's newest creation, a family tandem with linkage steering. Kiddo in front is not quite 3! I'm especially loving the padding in front, such attention to detail.
Picture
Mina rolls along on the Madsen with a party in the bucket!
Picture
Who says you need to go big and expensive to ride with your family? This is Trevor's bike with a Tyke Toter for his daughter. Holds up to 45lbs.
Picture
Jen's always up for camping trips via Mundo (although she's possibly looking into downsizing for a lighter bike now that kiddo is happier riding on his own Isla Bike).
Picture
Heather's family can all get into riding with their numerous bike rigs. Hubby's on the Cargo Joe, a folding Xtracycle. They also have a Madsen (which Heather used to deliver a mini fridge to us!).
Picture
Doug and MJ both have Xtracycles--a FreeRadical conversion on Doug's bike and MJ rocks an Edgerunner. They just added a John Lucas Flatbed Cycle Truck to their fleet.
Picture
Seth used his artistic talents (as an artist) to turn their Workscycles Bakfiets into a firetruck for Halloween.
Picture
Dan and Ashlie's Cycle Truck has an overload of cuteness. Love the custom and highly visible Carsick Designs bags!
Picture
Paul has the only other family Bullitt in town. His team has cuter kits, though.
Picture
Chris and his daughter love their Edgerunner! Chris chose the bike because of its lower deck and easy on-off for H.
Our family biking tribe is growing every day! It's hard to feel out-of-place when you're in such great company!

Love all the choices! And also seeing the bullet with trail-a-bike... We just added one to my bakfiets and I'm expecting many stares and comments tomorrow. Lol

I wish my Big would be more help when he's on the Piccolo but it's still fun to have him pedaling with me. We call ours the Crazy Train.

That picture of Keith's new family tandem is adorable. He has serious talent.
