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.

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. Tim and The Cargo Bike Shop can be reached at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.

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.
