We have seen a dramatic increase in European folks using cargo bikes in our area. Many are here for 9-12 months and they’ve decided that the infrastructure and community are both developed enough to support them and their families.

Local to Boston? Got kiddos? We’re bringing the best of Copenhagen to the Boston area! The Ibex is a compact cargo trike with a Shimano EP6 mid drive motor. It fits two kiddos + a small grocery run. We’ve imported one, so you don’t have to! Take it for a spin or sign up to borrow it for a week.

“Borrowers can try a bike for up to one week, taking casual rides, commuting and making grocery runs. Many of the cargo bikes come with kids’ seats installed, a benefit many bike shops can’t offer.” #ebike #cargobike

We're also in need of additional marshals for this event: - Paid position, $75 for 2 hours (9am-11am July 12th) - No previous experience needed - You will stand at an intersection and ensure that there are no conflicts with traffic for the ride. If you know anyone who can help, get in touch!

Some people park a car in their driveway, but Ichabod would rather see you park 10 bikes with a carrying capacity of 23 people. This is part of the fleet of bikes we’ll be loaning out today to help families learn whether e-bikes are the right answer for their transportation needs!

Stolen GSD —> Recovered GSD If you don’t do these three things, you have no way of recovering your stolen cargo bike 1. Register on @bikeindex.org 2. Install at least 2 bluetooth trackers that DO NOT have ultra-wideband (not AirTags) 3. Actually replace the tracker batteries when they’re dead
