Dreaming of getting away in August? How about getting away from your car? Xtracycle, a maker of “cargo bike” kits, offers up “car-free vacation tips”
so you can fill your vacation with “clean, affordable, soulful
transportation,” whether in town or exploring the wilderness. Among the
hints: plan ahead, choose your destination wisely, combine modes, and
travel light.
Xtracycle also gives you a chance to fulfill your dreams: one lucky
winner in its “What I Would do on My Car-free Vacation” Contest will
receive two cargo bike kits. And yes, you can get really far away on a
bike: Xtracycle-equipped mountain bikes were used for the trans-Siberia segment of last year’s Expedition 360 human-powered circumnavigation.
