Summary

72% Informative

Electric cargo bikes come in two flavors: a mid- or long-tail with an extended rear rack to attach seats or panniers.

Do you live in a climate where you can expect to spend large amounts of time outside? Do your local city, county, or state regulations prohibit you from buying or using certain types of electric bikes?.

For very small children, start with a bike seat buckled into a bakfiets.

For a child 3-5 years old , you can turn your regular bike into a family bike.

Don’t throw your dead bicycle inner tubes away! They’re durable, stretchy, and free.

Your local bureau of transportation may have free bike and walk maps.

Having a biking buddy holds you accountable makes you more likely to get on your bike instead of in a car if you’re meeting someone else.

Don’t forget to check with your local Bureau of Transportation , which may have maps.
