Hi - Would you be interested in doing an article on doing all local trips on bike using a utility bike that is easy, light, fast and can carry tons of stuff including all my kids? It's the SUV of bikes and it's from a local East Bay company - Xtracycle. I've been riding for 4+ years and do 90% of my EB errands on the bike including: hardware, garden center, groceries ($200 trips), two kids to school, yard sale hopping, 100lbs of dog food, camping, SF trips, etc. Everybody can do it and save lots of time, gas, money, carbon...
