ELEANOR

PURCHASED: PEDEGO STRETCH

We bike to school, to soccer practice, to the farmer’s market, to restaurants, to grocery stores, to friend’s houses, on the trails just for fun; pretty much anywhere we need to go we can take the Stretch instead of the car. The beauty of this bike, for me, is that it eliminates the stress and intimidation of biking longer distances, while enhancing a host of other positives that you get with cycling on a regular bicycle.

DAVID

PURCHASED: NIHOLA FAMILY CARGO TRICYCLE

My daughter Camille has always loved being active and being outside with us, but it has been a challenge because of her special needs. When we stumbled on the Nihola Family Cargo Tricycle, we knew it was the perfect solution. We finally found Practical Cycle and realized they can ship right to our doorstep. Thanks Practical Cycle for giving my daughter the ability to stay active despite her special needs.

PAUL

PURCHASED: XTRACYCLE EDGERUNNER

Paul wanted to find something that was as efficient as a car but without the price. After doing some research he visited us at Practical Cycle for the final step in purchasing a cargo bike. He was stuck between a Yuba or an XtraCycle and after taking them both out for a spin, he settled on the XtraCycle EdgeRunner 24D in black. Now he and his son can go on rides and run errands all in the same trip!

COMFORT

Commuting on a standard bike can be cumbersome and awkward. But cargo bikes make it easy-breezy to get around town with your groceries, your work gear, and more!

PERFORMANCE

Whether you need to load up your kids to take them to daycare, or carry a full load of groceries or sports equipment, our cargo bikes are up to the task!

We know that cargo bikes take a beating. That's why every model we sell is sturdily built from high quality, brand name parts.

SERVICE

At Practical Cycle, the customer comes first. We'll answer every question you have, take care of every concern, and do everything we can to make you smile.
