Brought home about 90 lbs today from Costco
By Jerry, San Francisco, CA..jpg)
Below is my bike loaded with about 50 lbs of groceries from a Costco run this morning. Lois and I brought home about 90 lbs today from Costco. I think you should order me a left-sided wide loader to match the right sided cover you are re-ordering for me. I may need a Stoker Monkey next.- Jerry, San Francisco, CA 11/14/2007
First relaxed night ride of my life.
By Pam, Oakland CA.- Pam, Oakland CA 11/14/2007Hi Paul,
Happy happy happy is what my crazy neighbor says when he takes his
signs and sits at the Powell Street cable car turnaround, but it's
what I feel like saying riding my new bike! I rode home with it
Monday night and had so much fun I rode right past my house and kept going!The Down Low Glow gave me such a feeling of safety, knowing I was
seen, that I had the first relaxed night ride in my life. You're
right: the night ride is quality time. The traffic is much less,
the sun doesn't make you hot, I had lots of streets to myself, and it

[Jump to Testimonials]Newsweek rundown of utlity bicycles includes Xtracycle SUB and Mundo Utility Bicycle
Originally appeared on Newsweek.Quotation:
Utility bicycles are the pickup trucks of the cycling world.
Utility bikes are the pickup trucks of the cycling world. Made to carry big loads that would normally require a car, they are popular abroad and are now catching on here. Imported from the Netherlands, the Bakfiets brand is like a pedal-powered minivan for soccer moms. Shoulder harnesses secure up to three kids, eight gears provide torque for hills, and a chain guard, fenders and mud flaps keep riders clean ($3,023; dutchbikes.us/cargo).
My family car is an SUB and I love it
Originally appeared on Salon.com's "The Good Life", by Mark Benjamin.Quotation:
Trader Joe's is three miles away. It was a pleasant ride. My bike is heavier by a few pounds -- it's certainly more cumbersome to carry down the porch steps -- but I couldn't feel the difference when riding. The bike performed pretty much the same as before. At Trader Joe's, I filled an entire grocery cart to the rim. By the time I reached the checkout lane, all seemed lost. No way this was going to fit on my bike.
