I remember when selling bikes relied on recreational cyclists. Shops rarely sold bikes (unless severely marked down) this late in the season. Today is Oct 6th, but in reality it was just another Monday that we sold a couple of bikes and repaired many.

The world is a scary mess.

I don’t have all (or many) answers.

But I do know it’s always a good idea to find your community.

Figure out what you can offer to other people and projects/efforts.

Ask for what you need.
At least a dozen cargo bikes of all shapes, sizes and prices are parked in the grass at a park.

Family Fun Ride in a heat wave?
To the splash pad we go!
Thanks for joining Laura!

I’m always impressed at how much cargo the @perennialcycle.bsky.social team hauls with cargo bikes & bike trailers.

It’s great to have a local bike shop that actively showcases what’s possible with the bikes they sell… at awesome community events that they also host!
Luke (owner of Perennial) hauls lots of food, drinks and supplies with a front loader cargo bike + trailer.

Aunties of Active Mobility Roll On: Rose and Laura: https://streets.mn/2025/06/04/aunties-of-active-mobility-roll-on/

The second "Aunties of Active Mobility" stars both a relative newbie (Rose, now an instructor) and seasoned veteran (Laura, of cargo bike fame).
A woman riding a bike across a bridge, facing away from the camera. Three women photographed from the back running up a slight incline in the woods on a race. Selfie of Laura wearing a shirt designed by Tom Flood that reads “I just wanted to bike my kid to school now I spend more time at city hall than home.” w/ a photo of a woman on a bike. Laura smiles at the camera from the seat of a front-loading cargo bike that contains two smiling children, a backpack, and a large plushie. Laura and her kids have matching mint green helmets.

I'm an innovator. I'm making waves at the intersection of the cargo bike and pizza world at the @piecycleclub.bsky.social and @perennialcycle.bsky.social Cargo Bike Show and Tell 😜
perennialcycle.bsky.social
OMG!! Watching the string riding 2 and 3 abreast for seemingly EVER to get through the intersection is so FUN!
Thanks for the great marshaling yesterday Laura.

Safely moving 150+ people on a group bike ride through a city takes work and coordination.

I'm so grateful to ride organizers like @perennialcycle.bsky.social that have marshaling down to a science.

Yesterday was one group after another. Everywhere. The Queer History Ride was the largest single group (by a lot)! Pretty cool to see thousands of riders literally everywhere.
perennialcycle.bsky.social
I’m ready!!
And we’re talking about adding a few more (last year’s Brat Ride was such a mega bonus!)

Luke @perennialcycle.bsky.social is gonna be so tired by the end of summer. We're gonna wear him out!
perennialcycle.bsky.social
And we couldn’t pull it off without help from volunteers like you and Nissa! See you Saturday for the 4th annual Queer History Ride!
I’ll have your staff QHR shirts for you! Thank You!!
lauragmitchell.com
My local bike shop ( @perennialcycle.bsky.social ) just sent an email previewing the rides they’re hosting this summer:
-1 queer history ride
-4 family fun rides
-7 FTW rides
-6 DJ dance rides
-1 cargo bike show & tell
