My Current Set Up

After my decision to give up my car I had a chat with my children, Ava and Luke, about how this spring we won't use our car except on long trips. Here is what they said as we walked into town in our stroller.           

"Why?"asked Ava.

"Well, we want to use less gas and be healthy, and biking is fun" I answered.

"Why do we want to save on gas?" Three year olds ask the best simple questions.

"Gas isn't good for the earth and it is expensive" I said

"Great Mom, lets do it for Mother Earth, " My little hippie replied, "plus I mean I love to be outside-and we can walk too."

"Ya, fresh air, bike" replied Luke.

So with everyone on board I excitedly went the basement to grab our current biking mode,  my LL bean Acadia bike and our Schwin trailer, only to find out typical to a Maine basement, our trailer was covered with mold. Ok. This won't work. I'm going to have to get a new trailer. 

I began to research other trailers and stumbled upon cargo bikes.
