I came across this article today and felt inspired. So many sites and blogs have taken a look at how much a rider can save by bicycling to work, but I liked this one because the writer is mostly a fair-weather rider. I think more potential commuters can identify with that approach. One detail he
Community Cycling Center – a vehicle for change
When my co-worker, Dee Wanger, and I went out to Portland, Oregon to exhibit the Ridekick power trailer at the Pedal Nation PDX Bike Show last April, we had the opportunity to get acquainted with a wonderful organization. The Community Cycling Center (CCC) is a non-profit association dedicated to helping “…broaden access to bicycling and its
Bicycle Commuter Benefit
The Federal Government supports bicycle commuting through its pretax bicycle commuter benefit. With the benefit, employers can reimburse up to $20 per month per bicycle commuting employee. Both the employee and the employer gain an advantage from the benefit. The employer saves on employment taxes by reimbursing the employee with funds prior to determining and paying

Ridekick Release Rally
They’ve taken it to the streets! In celebration of bringing the RidekickTM power trailer to the market, the Ridekick International team rode enmasse through the streets of downtown Fort Collins, Colorado.

Just another bikers’ day in paradise…
New Belgium rocks… Need I say more? I unfortunately did not participate in the Urban Assault Ride (UAR) yesterday, but I did cruise down to New Belgium Brewery with my Ridekick power trailer for the after-party and was blown away! Never have a seen such a great crowd of people gathered together to express their love
Two wheels or more, just keep on rolling
There’s an old gentleman who lives in my neighborhood. He rides a tricycle. Not a kid’s tricycle, but a tricycle made for full-grown adults. If he rode any slower he’d be standing still, but he wouldn’t fall over. “That’s you in forty years,” Sue said when we saw him the other day. That’s my wife,
A New Way to Ride: Bicycle Sharing
Did you know that about 50% of all Americans live less than five miles from where they work, but only 1.67% of Americans commute by bicycle? Now, are you asking yourself why more people aren’t commuting by bike rather than driving if they live so close to work? Me, too. Well, there are a few
