Cargo bikes are powerful tools that can help you take on almost any of your and your family’s local transportation needs. They are also powerful tools for politically organizing to win the changes you want in your community like protected bike lanes and more secure bike storage. However, going from being bikeless to a skilled cargo bike user can be as intimidating as getting politically involved to win a bike lane. But you can master those skills and this training will lay the groundwork for you to do so.
