2 Wheeling to the Grocery Store

By: Kendra Davidson | Tags: bakfiets, cargobike, Dutch Bakfiets, dutch bicycle, Dutch Bicycle Canada, dutch bike, Dutch Cargobike, grocery shopping by bike | Comments: 0

Does anyone else seem to live in a grocery store? Back in the day when I didn’t have a child, a dog, after school and weekend pint sized hollow legged extra’s that pop into our house, I went grocery shopping once a week. So like all parents, that once a week grocery shopping trip turned into 4x a week, because either you run out of something, your nut free packaged food stash for the one friend with allergies has gone and you have to restock, you volunteered to get last […]

Choose Your 2 Wheeled Route

By: Kendra Davidson | Tags: bakfiets, bicycle, bicycle routes, cargobike, dutch bike, momlife | Comments: 0

I get asked frequently how I started running errands by bike. It was a slow process, everyone, including those of us who own a bicycle store, start from somewhere. I will admit, riding alone wasn’t as nerve wracking as transporting precious cargo. I think back to the first car ride home from the hospital, and going 30km an hour afraid of every movement with a tiny newborn. It takes time to get used to it, there is nothing wrong with feeling nervous, but you shouldn’t be afraid. My main goal […]

2 Wheeling with a Dog

If you are anything like us, you want to find a way to ride and run errands with your dog, especially during the warm months when it is just too hot for your dog to wait for you in the car. If your dog is a jumper, having a proper dog basket is key, it gives your four legged best friend a more secure ride. You don’t get anxious and neither do they. This one pictured below acts more like a crate and makes them feel secure for their ride, […]

Bicycle Hand Signals

By: Kendra Davidson | Tags: bakfiets, bicycle, bicycle hand signals, bicycle safety, hand signals, safety | Comments: 0

A little while ago, I was riding around running errands by bakfiets, I had stopped, then signaled. Nothing unusual, I had a driver then put down her window and yell out “I don’t know my hand signals!” I was a little startled. An unusual confession coming from a driver. I am not sure why she bothered to tell me, because the next question that came to mind was “how many people don’t know their bike signals?” I remember vividly learning hand signals at school at a young age. Plus, I […]

The Dutch Bicycle Culture

By: Kendra Davidson | Tags: bakfiets, cargobikes, culture, Dutch Bicycles, dutch culture, travel | Comments: 0

The first time we saw the miles of bicycle networks and bicycle traffic in the Netherlands was 9 years ago, with a then 1 year old in a pack on our back. We had decided to backpack for a few months with a toddler, some would think we were insane, but it was a blast. Our first stop was Amsterdam, it was the shortest direct flight from our then home in Vancouver. Vancouver at that time was just going through the beginning of a bicycle revolution, and it was a […]

Pedal Assist Bakfiets – The Game Changer

By: Kendra Davidson | Tags: bakfiets, cargo bike, dutch bike, electric bikes, pedal assist bakfiets, pedal assist cargo bike | Comments: 0

No matter how short or long a trip, I get stopped when riding the Bakfiets, especially when they look and see there is a battery. Not only does it intrigue people, but the battery somehow opens up a completely different dialogue with strangers. I have been riding a bakfiets for 8 years. Throughout the years we have had a short, a long, then the long with pedal assist. The bakfiets has been the shared bike in our house, the one bike that seems to work comfortably with a 6ft man […]

? Top 3 Questions Kendra Gets Asked About Riding the Bakfiets ?

By: Andrew Bowen | Tags: bakfiets, dutch bicycle, Dutch Cargobike, electric cargo bike | Comments: 0

When you ride a bakfiets cargo bike long, you get stopped a lot. Things people stop Kendra to ask (sometimes in the middle of the street) Is it hard to steer? Nope, it takes 20 seconds the first time on a bakfiets to get used to the wheel being so far away, but other than that 20 seconds, it is super easy and a lot of fun. Is it heavy? A bakfiets is not fast but is smooth and easy to ride. If you are looking for light and fast, […]

Bakfiets Cargo (Box) Bike V.S. Longtail Cargo Bike

By: Andrew Bowen | Tags: | Comments: 0

Hey, We thought we would post this conversation, for those looking at different cargo bike options. We sell both options but read on to see which we recommend the most for child transportation... We love all different types of bikes, but when we are strictly talking about child transport... We have a parents perspective. Bakfiets or long tail, which is safest? Long tails are plenty safe in common use and in most situations, but when something goes wrong there is little margin for error. Balancing the weight and movements of two children [...]

This is a comparison of the Urkai Specification bakfiets.nl cargo bike long with the Milano Cargo bike.

We are so pumped that we are lucky enough have our hands on some of the Brompton Nickel Edition in Canada as they were very hard due to a limited production run of 1500 available worldwide and each of them have a special stamp and number to prove it. First question, why use the high phosphorus Nickel plating usually reserved for deep sea drilling and space ships? From a technical standpoint the high phosphorus nickel has very desirable properties such as anti-corrosion, high wear resistance and thickness uniformity and has a [...]

An XL is $4499 and it includes the NuVinci 360 CVT (continuously variable transmission) giving lots of range and durability under the load of three people pedalling. Factual (investment perspective). 1. Cars are so expensive that the savings from reducing their usage easily eclipses even the most expensive family bicycle.

Many of you love the Brompton (What is not to love?), but sometimes it is necessary to add a little power. Sometimes those big hills and long rides need a little boost, electrifying your Brompton is a great way to do it. The most important feature is the fact that electrifying, does not mean you lose the ability to fold it into the perfect compact bike the Brompton is known to be. There are different options that can be customized. The first is torque, and what that means is, the […]

The History of Gazelle Bicycles

By: Kendra Davidson | Tags: Dutch Bicycles, Gazelle Bicycles, History of Gazelle Bicycles | Comments: 0

If you think about Dutch Bicycle, you probably think of Gazelle. Gazelle was founded 1892 by Willem Kölling and Rudolf Arentsen. Initially they sold bicycles imported from England, but by 1902 they began their own production under the Gazelle name. In the 1920’s to the 40’s Gazelle exported bicycles to Indonesia, where you still see many of them today being used for everyday life, as well as being sought after as collector items. In 1925 Gazelle used the Piet Pelle cartoon character for advertising purposes and created this video of their factory […]

You don’t get it, and you don’t believe in it, until you ride one with your child. My bakfiets means so much more to me, it is an extension of me that I never thought possible. A car is an inanimate object, and so is a bakfiets, but because I pedal it, I bring it to life, and I become more alive. Before I became pregnant, […]
