Favorite Hauls

Here are some of my favorite hauls with our Xtracycle Radish.

Bikes in bikes. Always fun.


The grandparents don't have cargo bikes, so I needed to take them a car seat :)


The library is always a good destination.


Take back bottles and come home with some fresh groceries.


One of many loads going to Goodwill as we declutter. I love how the FreeLoader bags just take everything. I thread their straps through bag handles and it works great.


Taking all 3 kids solo to daycare.


Entertainment for the kids that are in the other bike.


If we're going to a ski show or fireworks display, we can still fit a stroller for the little one. It is amazing to just roll right into the main crowd and lock up instead of parking a mile and a half away and hiking it along roads.


Selling my extra smart home wiring to a friend at work. I was told I just needed a trench and could have dropped cable at speed!


Parks are the most common destination. Why load up in the van to go 1 or 2 miles?

A Smaller Target

Dear car/SUV manufacturers,
I like bikes. I like cars and trucks less, but usually end up using them more. Sometimes I take bikes places. That means I need a bike rack. If you'd like to gurantee I consider your vehicle as my next purchase, please build one of these bad boys in to your vehicle.



This is tremendous design. I hate having a rack hang off the back, but I hate taking it off and storing it in the garage even more. This might also save my precious bike rack. I had a silly lady try to rip mine off the back of my truck this summer. She used her front bumper. It wasn't pretty. I'd be pretty darn giddy if Nissan teamed up with Saris and put this in the next Xterra.
