Ask other cargo bike lovers
- Bay Area Cargo Bike Collective on Facebook

- Strike up a conversation with a cargo bike owner – you can hardly stop us from chatting about them!
- See if the bike manufacturer has a program to match you with a current owner.
Take a test ride
- We are fortunate to have many shops that carry these bikes, so you should be able to arrange a test ride.
- Some local owners may also be willing to let you test ride their bike.
For additional inspiration:
- Read this tongue-in-cheek article “The hidden costs of using an electric bike”
