Cargo bike lifestyle
Environmental and community awareness
Cargo bikes enable families to move around town in an environmentally-friendly way.
Climate change imposes many challenges on us all. A family or professional cargo bike is a credible and simple solution to effectively reduce our environmental impact. On a daily basis, these vehicles prove to be as practical and more flexible than cars.
Whether one wants to replace a car or stop using a second car, cargo bikes are here to help.
From school to playground
A safe and versatile vehicle
A cargo bike offers families a smooth way to make their daily commutes. Confidently move around the neighbourhood with the kids seated and securely attached,
It’s easy to bring the kids to school or to daycare. Need to get groceries? Hop on the bike. It’s so simple. Ride to the water park on a hot summer day and stop by the cousin’s house. It’s always “door to door”: no traffic jam, no unforeseen detours, and there’s always a parking spot near the entrance.
Sure, a cargo bike is not an absolute, fix-all, do-all solution – it’s not a magic carpet – but it will be perfect for most errands and trips around town.
Proximity and community
Discovering the neighbourhood
It is both commonplace and extraordinary to repeat, but cycling will open up your part of the world. When you ride daily, you adopt new travel habits. A trip to the Old Port becomes possible because you have the means to bring you there easily… the ordinary thus becomes more attractive.
And that’s the least of it! Recent history has shown that we need to find beauty near our homes – cultural activities, economic activity, social activity: humanity!
With a cargo bike, there is no hesitation. Traveling from one borough to the next becomes normal, and everything that enriches your life is just a few pedal-strokes away.
