Cargo Bike Roll Call- Eugene

This Saturday was the first Cargo Bike Roll Call (CBRC) in Eugene. It was held in conjunction with Kidical Mass, where several families use cargo bikes everyday to haul their kids around. Cargo bikes range from these everyday family vehicles to job specific work bikes. Over 100 people showed up to the CBRC to both show off and admire utility bikes of all types. What stood out was the diversity!  There were all sorts of bikes (and people) from the funky to the polished and everything in-between. From simple bikes with baskets to an electric assist trike & trailer that can haul over 700 pounds there was something for everyone to marvel at.  There was some great networking going on as well as general ogling and talk has already begun about the next event!

KVAL did a nice story about the event:

Arriving by Bike was the main sponsor of the event. They hosted us at the Hideaway Bakery with a yummy spread of food; wood-fired oven pizzas, cookies, bread, strawberry lemonade and more. Oakshire Brewing provided some excellent Line Dry Rye Pale Ale and several other sponsors helped fund the food and beverages as well.  Thanks to everyone who helped make the event happen, it was such a success we look forward to doing it again!
