I’ve had some interesting discussions since my cost comparison post and wanted to explore some other aspects of it. One thing I didn’t really touch on in my original post is how we funded the cargo bike purchases in the first place. Lindsey over at This Mom Bikes took a good look at how her…… Continue reading Does biking save money when you need to keep the car?
With kids it seems like you are constantly dealing with some kind of regression. Sleep is going fine and then suddenly they regress. They’re eating a wide variety of foods and then they regress to only a few favorites. Over the winter we experienced something that seemed like a bike-related regression with H.

I LOVE my Packster. But nothing is perfect. Over a few thousand miles with a bike problems crop up that aren’t obvious in the first weeks or months of ownership. I think it’s good to come back around and talk about those things so people have an idea of longer term reliability and issues they…… Continue reading Troubles in paradise

I just want to give what these numbers look like for us because it’s something that has been on our minds a lot while we made decisions about our future housing options. I think it’s pretty obvious…… Continue reading Cost comparison: e-cargo bike vs car

I love box bikes for the lower center of gravity, the ease of talking to my kids and seeing what they are doing, and how easy it is to protect them from the wind…… Continue reading First look: Tern GSD
Last week I headed over to G&O for a bike maintenance class and on the way over my headlight shut off. I didn’t think much of it. I had the headlight installed relatively recently as an upgrade from the stock headlight and there’d been an issue with it shutting off previously due to a zip…… Continue reading Metrofiets with Stokemonkey review
I love that riding my bike around town seems to expose a whole lot of non-cyclists to a form of biking they’d never thought about before. The majority of my interactions with people are positive and while I can’t be sure whether I’ve managed to convert any of them to cycling, it definitely makes people…… Continue reading Chilly Hilly
