The front bag on this @xtracycle.bsky.social Hopper expands to fits whatever you’re hauling (in this case, 10 @cleverhood.bsky.social jackets) & has magnetic closures.
We love when bike companies have great accessories for their bikes.
Borrow this bike FREE for a week next spring/summer/fall!

We visited the Gilette Children’s Adaptive Recreation Expo in St. Paul today and were SO excited to see all of the adaptive bikes up close.

We anticipated a slow build to our program.
Instead, it's been a firehose situation with orientations filling faster than we can schedule them!
