Could a cargo bike work for your everyday life?

Once you have a broad idea of the type of cargo bike that might suit you, a Try Before You Buy scheme gives you the chance to experience it properly.

You can see how it fits into your daily journeys, where you’ll store it, how charging works and, importantly, whether the children enjoy travelling in it.

It’s a great way to answer those practical questions before committing to a purchase.

There may be a similar scheme available in your area. If you live in or around Cambridge, come and chat to us about the local options and let us help you take the next step.

Thanks for being to patient Ernie, we hope you’re pleased with your service.

How much does a cargo bike cost, and is it worth it?

The upfront cost can feel significant, but there are ways to make it more manageable. If your employer offers a Cycle to Work scheme, you may be able to save through salary sacrifice. We also offer 0% finance on eligible purchases.

When we added up the purchase and running costs using our own example, it came to around £1.10 per mile. Your figure will depend on the bike, how often you ride, servicing costs and how long you own it, but we think a cargo bike can offer fantastic value when it becomes part of everyday life.

Come and talk to us about your journeys, budget and the available options. We’ll help you look at the full picture.

Two wheels or three? Which cargo bike is right for you?

Two-wheel cargo bikes can feel more like a traditional bike, while three-wheel cargo bikes offer extra stability when stationary. Both handle differently, and each comes with its own pleasures and practical considerations.

Whichever you choose, take your time, secure your load and give yourself space to get used to the bike’s size and handling.

There’s no single right answer, so don’t rush into buying. Come and experience both, ask plenty of questions and let us help you find the cargo bike that feels right for you.

Cargo bikes are brilliant for everyday journeys, but they take a little time to get used to.

Always secure your load before setting off, remember that your bike is longer than a standard bike and stop a little earlier at junctions. Leave enough space when pulling up beside crossing buttons so you can reach them easily too.

Most importantly, take your time and don’t rush into buying. We’ll help you explore the pleasures, understand the potential pitfalls and find the cargo bike that feels right for you.

Thinking about riding a trike? Give yourself time to get used to it.

Our top tip is to imagine your feet are glued to the pedals. Keep them planted, take things slowly and allow yourself time to understand how the trike moves and handles.

Riding a trike can feel different at first, so try one for yourself, practise somewhere quiet and build your confidence at your own pace.

You’re welcome to try a trike at one of our bike shops in Cambridge and Norwich.

We get lots of questions from customers who are curious about cargo bikes, so we’re sharing some simple tips to help you feel more confident before buying one.

In this video, we’re looking at the practical basics of mastering a two-wheel cargo bike, including keeping it upright, parking safely and pulling it onto the stand.

They can feel a little different at first, but with the right technique and a bit of practice, you’ll soon get the hang of it.
