Dog parents who love to bike can truly relate to this conundrum: you want to head out on a velo adventure but you hate leaving puppers at home. Often times you have to pick one over the other - bike ride or pup time. Ashley here from the Support Team and I've got some good news, my friends. With a long tail cargo bike and a few items you likely already have laying around, YOU CAN DO BOTH! Thanks to the seemingly limitless versatility that Xtracycles bring to the table, there are numerous ways to turn your ride into a people... Читать дальше...

Nearly all of us have been there. Something on our bike is acting funky and while we love riding, we kinda don’t know what we’re doing when it comes to mechanics. Bike part names? Psh. Everything is just “that thing that attaches to that other thing.” Ashley here from the Customer Support Team and while I’ve gotten better with my bike knowledge since joining the Xtracycle team, I’m more often than not still that customer, having to reference a bike anatomy guide to know what I’m looking at. With some bike shops... Читать дальше...

Rolling Up on the Holy Days

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa, Yuletide, Festivus, and/or the Pastafarian “Holiday,” a veritable gaggle of holy days fast approacheth. Around this time of year, it’s fun to slap yourself and reflect on the fact that yet another twelve months has gone flying by: four seasons, an earth-sun cycle, another way to measure ourselves against that inner secret metric…

Have I been a good butterfly, making a positive difference? Читать дальше...

For those who revel in the subtle art of gift giving, the struggle to find that perfect balance between practical and thoughtful is real. Ashley here from the Customer Support Team and I am all about unique and useful gift giving. If you have an avid cyclists or cargo bike rider on your list this year, take a peek at these goodies that any rider will delight in opening.

A local bike shop’s staff can make or break the customer community it cultivates. Kash over at Warm Planet Bikes in San Francisco definitely makes the warm and welcoming vibes in his shop. Pros and n00bs alike can walk in and know they will get the service and attention they need as well as that priceless “You got this!” motivation. Kash’s answers to our recent dealer survey were so spot on, we’re excited to share them with you here. If you’re in the bay area, swing on over to 1098A Market St. Читать дальше...

Back in my "pre-cargo bike, bike and trailer set-up days", I dreamed of earning my Hauled the Tree Home by Bike patch one day. A few months after adding an Xtracycle EdgeRunner longtail cargo bike to my stable, I had my chance. Come early December, I rolled up to the charity tree stand with my bike and daughter on board and walked between the rows of fragrant firs looking for the perfect (and relatively portable) tree. The stand workers gathered ‘round, grinning ear to ear in disbelief, as I loaded... Читать дальше...

For those riders out there who like to or - let's be honest - have to ride rain, snow or shine, having a good way to keep the littles extra cozy is a big deal. Sure, you got Muddy Buddies, rain boots and slickers but having extra protection from the elements is never a bad thing when you got passengers you need to keep happy in inclement weather.

With All Hallows' Eve right around the corner and daylight savings nipping at its heals, there’s no time better than now to get your ride ready for night time visibility! When you bike as much as we do, visibility is the name of the game. Doing all you can to ensure that you are seen makes night riding safer and can really give you the confidence you need to hit the streets after dark, especially if you’re taking the lane with kiddos in tow or riding by your side. Here is some of the gear that helps us light up the night. Читать дальше...
