Good to hear that everybody is finding that it is more convenient sometimes to use their bikes than car. I'm assuming that most if not all in this sub-forum is trying to do more with their bikes than basic commuting. What errands or tasks do you usually use your bike for? I'm in Queens, NY and I'm finding that I using my longtail bike more and more and my car less and less; and as I'm doing so found my life to be less hectic and also with a little planning saving some money in the process. Now I want to incorporate my children's playtime with errand running so I'm going for a cargo bike with a box in front. Hope this works.
