Remember your first bike! The freedom. As a kid, your bicycle was a monumental step forward in fun and autonomy. So when did we stop enjoying the bike?
I don’t think most of us ever did. Other things got in the way – like car pooling to a basketball game, learning to drive or later in life kids…the very people who enjoy bikes the most. Somewhere along the line, we all forgot that bikes are fun and extremely practical.
With all the talk about eco-friendly everything, we forget that the best form of transportation is a little invention from 19th century Europe. The bicycle is a no gas, high mileage miracle.
Some vendors are capitalizing on this movement by providing a range of bike components that cut down on the excuses to own a car.
Anyone know of a 3 to 4 seat trailer option for kids? They all seem to stop at 2 kids?
As for company kudos. The New Belgium Brewery (Fort Collins, Colorado) gives a bicycle to all employees who have been with the company for over a year. My hat is off to them.
