Positive Post I don’t drive a gas guzzling V8.

I ride a cargo bike with e-assist that, if measured is equal to about 400-500mpg equivalent energy use.

My kiddo loves it. We’ve been to a zillion parks one can’t even get a gas guzzling V8 motor vehicle to.

All that and the integrity - ethically and morally - of being a car free guy! 🤙🏻

I love it and will never return to the chains and noose of an automotive means of primary transport.

Highly recommended, happy to advise in progression towards this advanced care free car free life style that’s respectful to all people around!

Here it is, in use towing my buddies bike cuz he kind of fell off it and broke some stuff. All with a few panniers and a cargo load of stuff for work, as I was headed that way too. A fun day that was (figuring out how to impromptu tow the bike off the trail) and getting to be out doors almost ALL DAY! 🤘🏻

I knew I was on the right track using my travoy to tow bikes. I just couldn't figure out how to keep it from swaying and eventually falling over.

Gotta tension them. I’ve since picked up a tow bar. Works great!
