Two More Uses For Bikes and Trikes

>A Short Talk with Val Kleitz
>This is a short talk with Val Kleitz, veteran cargo biker and all around bicycle advocate. The video is only a few minutes long (and probably dated by a few years) but it is truly inspiring. He talks not only about the importance of the (cargo) bike, but also specifics about his. Just another exampleContinue reading “>A Short Talk with Val Kleitz”

>Carrying Tires on a Bike

Just another example of Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (and no, that is not me…I found this clip at CETMA Cargo…I do own one of their front racks).

>NYC Longtail
>A friend sent this picture to me from NYC (Thanks Suzy)…she spotted it on Fourth Street in the West Village…looks like it’s a xtracycle conversion. My hope is that longtails will become more common place…they really are the most practical way to move things in an urban environment.

>Sold!
>Yup, I sold it…well, almost…was given a down-payment on it. The buyer is a local chef/restaurateur that is going to use it to make deliveries…awesome, I couldn’t ask for a better home for it.
