Dahlias!

As an urban millenial cargo bike dad, I’m a big fan of these (waterproof, boa system/no laces, long-lasting sole). They’re a little pricey, but they last a long time: icebug.com/explore-iceb...
A raw metal gravel bike with a black fork and blue tires leaning against a steel structure. The ground is covered in salt and snow. Bare trees and a bridge are in the background.
Snowy days call for the big tires.
A top-down view of a collie sleeping on a wood floor in a nook between a staircase, a wall of hanging coats, and a closet. A wide angle lens makes the door of the closet look large and the dog look small.

I just use twist ties for the cable when I put a hub motor back on, rather than zip tying it again. One less thing to deal with next time.

You can buy it through Costco Next/Priority Bikes. It’s currently ~$800 off what it costs through Xtracycle. It’s a Costco bike for the Costco run! costconext.com/brand/priori...

New bike day! Xtracycle Hopper Costco deal was too good to resist.

Less time getting to the park, even on very pleasant streets, means more time walking in the park.

A cargo bike can be the best way to take a dog to the park.

Rough collies are great dogs. They need to be walked regularly, but are not super high energy. The shedding is very manageable, especially with a pet-hair roomba. Their coats are pretty magical. Mud just brushes out when it dries, and the hair just grows to the right length and stops.

Yep!
I think step 2 is “give puppy silly goggles.”

Recently did an airport pickup (brought a brompton for the person I was picking up to the airport in the cargo bike, and took a suitcase in the cargo bike on the way from the airport)

Finally found a taker for the bullitt x brompton airport pickup. Brompton goes in the bucket to the airport, person being picked up takes the brompton, and luggage goes in the bucket. Worked great. Love the trail accessibility of DCA. #bikesky

This Specialized saddle is pretty great for bikes with an upright seating position. It came with one bike and was comfortable enough that we bought another one for a second bike. www.specialized.com/us/en/the-cu...
Two grey electric capital bikeshare bikes on a bed of fallen leaves in front of green leafy trees.
You probably shouldn't leave your bikeshare bikes in the woods, but they look at home there.
