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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Getting your bike ready for winter

By: Andrew Bowen | Tags: Azor, Burlington, dutch bike, travel, urkai, Urkai services, winter, Winterizing a bicycle | Comments: 0

Winter is upon us again, but for many of us, we want to push the bike frontier and enjoy the fun and challenges of cycling in the winter. I believe I would be letting both my Azor bike and my wife’s bakfiets.nl cargo bike down if we did not ride them through the winter as they were built for year-round use. The frame has two layers of tough powder coat paint with an anti-rust zinc primer, and almost everything else that is not painted is either stainless steel or aluminum, making it […]
