Back to work...with the cargo bike?
Here we go again, September is approaching and things are slowly getting back up to speed! Every year, I make myself the same promise: “I’m going to do more trips by bike.” Since July, I’ve managed to cycle to work at least twice a week. That makes me a little proud. But as of today, September 1, that promise already seems at risk of derailing. How do I manage to carry my two energetic toddlers, along with school bags, swim bags, a laptop, lunch, sports gear, and more, without arriving at work drenched in sweat? The solution: cargo bikes!
Cargo bikes
Luckily, something like a cargo bike exists! A cargo bike is a bicycle with a large loading area between the front wheel and the handlebars. Cyclobility offers various cargo bikes from Riese & Müller . These bikes can be fully customized to your personal needs. For example, you can choose a box with three child seats, or a closed box for carrying groceries. The boxes can be completely sealed to be waterproof. In cold and rainy weather, your groceries or children stay dry.
A cargo bike is much safer than a bike trailer attached behind the bike. You have far more control over what’s happening in front of you, and you can chat comfortably with your children along the way.
All cargo bikes are equipped with a Bosch Cargo Line Cruise motor. This allows you to carry a lot of weight without struggling or sweating on the bike. Even hills are no problem thanks to the assistance. Riese & Müller even offers cargo bikes that can reach speeds of up to 45 km/h. In busy cities, this bike can be a practical alternative to the car. But cargo bikes are also gaining popularity in rural areas. Andries Aumann, founder of Cyclobility, rides up the well-known Kluisberg several times a week without any issues on the Riese & Müller Load 75!

The Yuba Spicy Curry is also one of our favorite models for families! This bike comes with a bench seat. You can fully customize the bike to suit your family’s needs. The options are endless! A bike with a front rack, a cushioned bench seat, a child seat, panniers, monkey bars… you can discover all possible configurations in the video How to choose a cargo bike . This makes it child’s play to leave the car at home from now on. Plus, you avoid unnecessary traffic jams and can drop the kids off right at the school gate.
