We had 3 successful test drive events this year.   Most likely the next one will be in 2025.

Location: Picnic Grove at Cambridge Crossing

This will be our 7th crowd sourced event to benefit parents considering cargo bikes to transport their children by helping them to be able talk to a variety current parent owners that live in their community and try out the bikes.   The goal is to supplement information from online and bike shop visits.  Test driving in a park can be easier than in the streets around a bike shop for new riders.   It is also a fun social event for everyone.      

This may or may not be an event suitable for children, especially for the owners-many children are not patient enough to wait patiently while adults speak, your mileage may vary!   We will bring a small amount of our outdoor play equipment that we have at our bike rides.

Bring a helmet for any adult that is going to test drive and any child that is going to test ride.

We will meet at the tables called Picnic Grove in Cambridge Crossing.   It is on bike paths you can use for the test drives.

Shoppers will have to leave their state or federal photo IDs with the owners of the bike while test driving.   

Light refreshments provided!   Feel free to bring some too.

If you appreciate the work we do, feel free to donate!
