Happy New Bike Day to this family! For months they have been dreaming about getting a family cargo bike. They knew that it is a better way to get around the city, more fun for kiddo and parents and helps build a better future for the next generation but they were waiting and budgeting for the right time. Now they are moving to a different community, have a new baby due soon and are starting at a new daycare so what better time to change the way they get around! After researching online and following us here they knew they wanted a front loading box bike, but which one? We talked options and they test rode and fell in love with the Riese & Müller Packster2 70 family. This bike is packed with features plus includes everything you need to move two kids all for a a great value, plus that red is 🔥Wow! Welcome to and have a great ride home!

Another day another Carrie2! Happy New Bike Day to this happy family! They came to the shop a couple times to talk cargo bikes, specifically long tails and the shortest long tails possible. They test rode a few and decided on one and actually bought it to pick up later. After they checked out they were at the store playing with our toy trains and overheard a family talking about their box bike and how great it was to have the kids in front and how they could chat about their day and eat snacks and bring a stuffy and be out of the weather and then they realized that they wanted all that too! They test rode the excellent Riese & Müller Carrie2 and loved it. It wasn’t much longer than the long tail they thought they wanted, had a folding locking box plus all the benefits above. We ordered the exact colour and configuration and it was made in Germany just for them. Because they never left the store with the original bike it was an easy exchange and they were off. Welcome to and have a great ride home!

Happy New Bike Day to this happy bike rider! They came in to talk cargo bikes. They don’t have kids or a dog but that doesn’t matter, they wanted to do more by bike. Costco ✅Hardware store ✅ Take a friend out for a fun night in the town ✅ Have more fun running errands ✅ Often people come into our store and say “I don’t need a cargo bike” which of course can be true, but usually after we talk they realise that they are driving a car way more than they want to. For short trips to carry things that don’t fit on a traditional bike, or to pick up things that are further than they want to bike. This person understood that and ecargo bike can solve both those problems plus many more, not replace their bike but replace car trips that they weren’t doing by bike. Now which one? After a couple of visits and quite a few test rides both with and without a friend they decided on the excellent Load 60 from Riese & Müller This bike is a pleasure to ride, full suspension, gen 5 motor and just barely longer than your regular bike, plus massive amounts of cargo space. Welcome to and have a great ride home!

Who says Cargo bikes are just for kids? This family came in looking for a bike that could carry an adult. They have been car free in Vancouver for a long time which was never an issue but when a recent bouldering injury put one of them in a cast they were starting to feel like getting around together became challenging. That’s when they decided that a cargo bike could be the way forward. They came in two talk options and test ride and decided that the excellent Urban Arrow cargo was the bike for them. Easy to climb in even with a cast and easy to ride with a large passenger, a win-win! Belt drive, CVT and Bosch motor were icing on the cake. We love cargo bikes for everyone and date night by cargo bike is pure joy! Welcome to and have a great ride home!

Happy New Bike Day to this happy family of 4! They came in think about their commute in the fall for day care and school. They wanted a way to take both kids to school and care and then continue the ride into work. They wanted something that was small and could fit in the work elevator but was feature rich to keep the kiddos happy and dry, plus carry all their stuff. They couldn’t have described Tern Bicycles better if they tried. This company specializes in functional bikes that take up as little space as possible. Every bike the company makes either folds or stores vertically. This means even their excellent cargo bikes can stand on end to store in tight spaces plus the small wheels make it shorter overall and easier to manage with weight. The best part of any cargo bike is how it carries cargo and not only is this bike easier to manage with weight Tern makes some of the best accessories on the market, cargo bikes are all about the thought put into making them work for all types of cargo. This family took home the excellent Quick Haul Long and added the clubhouse, folding stow decks, a Thule seat, a storm box and the storm shield to put on in the fall when the rain starts. They are ready to ride everyday! Welcome to and have a great ride home!

Happy New a bike Day to this family of 4! Look at that beautiful Coral colour! They came in to talk cargos bikes for transporting their two kids. They wanted something with a small footprint, something that both kids could fit on for years to come, they wanted it to be easy to ride, low maintenance and they are very different heights and wanted to share it. They thought they were describing a long tail like that had seen some of their friends riding, but after talking and test riding both with and without kiddos they realized they wanted the excellent Carrie2 from This bike has everything they wanted plus a super functional rain cover, a folding locking box for easier storage and multi stop shopping and for them it felt much better to ride with their cargo. This is the thing about box bikes vs long tails, box bikes ride better with weight, long tails ride just like your regular bike when they are empty but the ride changes as the cargo gets heavier. We love all cargo bikes but we always say think about your 80% Short ride with kids long ride without perfect for a long tail but if you are going to be full 80% of the time you will likely prefer a box bike. The Carrie is the box bike for people who are tight on space and want a compact city bike, you may think you only have room for a long tail but the Carrie may change your mind, just like this family. Welcome to and have a great ride home!
