I’ll second that. They’ve been great to work with and have worked really hard 
to find the right solution for our family. Nice to have a local option now, 
rather than having to work remotely with shops in Chicago, Portland, or 
elsewhere.

Subject: [Bikies] Cargo Bikes and Kid Carrying

The recent post on kids riding reminded me to share a great local resource for 
cargo bikes (including your most precious cargo).

In researching new options for my family I found The Cargo Bike 
Shop<http://www.thecargobikeshop.com/> (http://www.thecargobikeshop.com/) to be 
a tremendous resource. Though I had seen a number of different options cruising 
around town I had no idea where to buy them, if I would like them, or even what 
they were called. The owner of Madison's The Cargo Bike Shop, Tim, has really 
helped me to figure out the right fit for me, my kids, and our budget.

Tim introduced me to several different options and even has demo bikes and 
attachments for you and your family to try out. I can not stress how helpful 
this is, especially when it involves finding the a bike that fits for multiple 
parents and kids in the house. The Cargo Bike Shop has kid's accessories, 
front-loading cargo/work bikes, long tails and, some of these models outfitted 
with electric assist.

This is a great local resource that I've found to be very helpful, enjoyable to 
work with, and aligned with my values WRT to non-motorized transportation. I 
hope you'll check them out if you're interested and as lost as I was.

Do you know how much fun it is to see a child ride a bike for the first time?  
If you don’t you should help out at two sessions MSCR is sponsoring this spring.

The first one is May 3rd at Memorial while the second one is May 17th at Warner 
Park.  Both run from 8:30 to noon although you will expected to be there 
earlier.

We need help in 3 areas.

Helmet fitting

Wrenching- this is very, very basic, essentially removing pedals and adjusting 
seats.

Instruction-  This is actually teaching kids the techniques to ride.  This will 
be explained to you at the sessions but essentially your role is to be a 
cheerleader.
