Not Saying What - Just Saying

Not saying you should buy one for you or your family. I’m just warning you, people will be doing just that. You will see a lot more of them when you are out and about after the holidays. There are a lot of reasons. Not often you can shop and save money from year to year while significantly reducing your carbon footprint. And possibly put several hundred dollars in your pocket. I have used mine exclusively for six years. It has paid for itself several times over. A similar cargo one can be purchased for less than half of what I paid. They are more fun than a hula hoop. Ridiculously, you could throw one away every year and buy a new one and still save money. Fewer parts will mean they are, or will soon be, cheaper than multi-geared bicycles. It’s a tossup of whether to do it now or later. The market for used cars is fairly high now . So if you do … Look for discounts, Know what you want. Of course helmets and locks are essential too, and it might be good to send a note to each of your elected representatives encouraging them to focus funds on sustainable dedicated routes separate from auto traffic, since painted stripes alone, on busy streets, do little to nothing to decrease accidents – or deaths. Protected lanes make streets safer for everyone. Just some “heads up!” Take care everyone. Happy Holidays!
