Back with a New Bike
27 September, 2008
Sorry for the latest drought. I seem to be saying that way to much lately. I was at Interbike in Las Vegas this week and saw some great bikes and accessories, and I’ll be sharing many of them with you in the coming weeks. First off is the Madsen Cycles Cargobike. It comes in three colors, the two below and cream. It has a SRAM X5 drivetrain, and can carry up to 600 pounds! The front wheel is 26″ and the rear is 20″, exactly opposite of my Bakfiets. It has a bench with safety belts for two kids in the bucket, and there is an accessory rack that can be installed over the front wheel that is due out later this winter. This is really a great thing to see, and it is from Utah! I couldn’t believe it when I saw it and heard where it comes from. I’ll be getting a chance to ride one of these and perhaps give it a good run through in the coming weeks so a thorough review will be coming, but if it behaves as good as it looks, it is a winner. You can’t beat the price either. It should retail for only $1299. If you know cargo bikes, you will know that that is a steal. Enjoy the pics and check back for more info on the latest and greatest from Interbike for the practical and chic cyclist in Utah Valley!
