We have been riding our bikes this spring and summer more than ever before. We always have a big come back to cycling in the spring. In fact, it’s our favorite season to ride. However, with self-isolation orders, closed parks, and other restrictions in place this year, we relied heavily on getting out on our bikes. Even with restrictions lifting, and parks opening back up to visitors, we continued the habit of getting out on a long ride (that’s 20-30 miles for us) almost every weekend.
Our new riding routine also became a time of transition for us. Georgia, our 5-year old, grew out of the Yepp Maxi Child Seat, but was not yet ready to tackle the roads on her own. We also didn’t want to give up the longer distanced riding that we’d grown accustomed to! To buy us some time before she’s completely solo on the rode, she rides behind Slaed with a Burley Piccolo Trailercycle.
In addition to the Yepp Maxi Child Seat, we also had a Chariot Bike Trailer for when I needed haul Georgia around. The bike trailer also came in handy for when we needed to haul…STUFF: beach toys, sporting equipment, chairs, potluck dinners, etc. As much as we appreciated the extra space, we knew that if we were moving on from the child seat, it was time to move on from the trailer. Plus, our storage room was getting pretty full!
Right at that time, Preeti from Kulie Bags reached out to me. Knowing I was losing out on a lot of space without the bike trailer, adding a bike rack, and pannier was the logical solution! Yes, a bit of a roundabout story, but it brings you up to speed on why I’m reviewing Kulie Bike Bags for you today.
