23.01.2022 There are trips and riding purposes for which lycra is a good option, but it's good to get the message out that it's not essential for bike riding. Dress for the destination, not the journey! This is one are where e-bikes shine: no need to exert yourself if you don't want to, while still getting around swiftly and confidently. .... . . #cycling #ebikes #transport #urbantransport #melbourne #lockdown #womenshealthweek #bicyclenetwork #pedalassist #gofurther #uphillflow #whathills #bicycles #quaxing #mobility

22.01.2022 Unique! This Allant+ 8 had to be repainted following an attempted theft. Rather than repaint in the original Matte metallic gunmetal, the customer decided to upgrade the paintwork to the Matte black-gloss red combo normally only found on the Allant+ 9.9, which isn't sold in Australia.

21.01.2022 Sports cycling history today in Australia for the 125th anniversary of the Melbourne to Warrnambool road cycling classic. Is it time to organise an e-bike version?

19.01.2022 More families getting around by ecargobike for their daily exercise and shopping trips during the Melbourne lockdown. Wes and his family riding the Riese & Müller Multicharger. "My wife was pretty sceptical about whether we need another bike in our life. However, after a few days she appreciated that it's not only heaps of fun but adds practical value to our daily routines. Kinder drop off was a breeze and the boys loved it. I did a grocery run and was able to park metres fro...m the entrance, stock up and the entire trip was faster than in the car. We were able to get to the Botanic Gardens in just 20mins (takes more than 30 by car) and we didn't have to worry about parking!" . . . #ebike #cycling #bicycles #outsideisfree #uphillflow #mobility #melbourne #riesemuller #cargobike #multicharger #lockdown #familytransport #family #kidsloveit

19.01.2022 When it comes to urban transport, CO2 emissions aren't the only game in town. Space 'consumption' and particle emissions are arguably more important for liveability.

18.01.2022 Cycling is inherently a social activity, and that shows when the infrastructure is conducive! In Melbourne we're limited to 5kms radius from home and groups of 2 for the moment, but even that has opportunities, and we're counting down to when times will be better again! .... . . #Melbourne #cycling #ebikes #bicycles #transport #mobility #socialactivity #families #couplesthatridetogether #staytogether #bikepaths #infrastructure #Dutch #rideeverywhere #gobybike

17.01.2022 While we watch the rain pour down in Melbourne and being stuck inside, a little throwback to one of our recent ecargobike trials. Bettina and her family tested the Riese & Müller Load 75 vario. "The Load 75 is the perfect halfway between a car and a regular bike. I could finally bring my 2-yr old and his balance bike to the track. Fitting two weeks of groceries for a family of 3 was surprisingly easy too! I couldn't believe the bike rides even smoother when fully loaded, and ...with the assistance on high even steep overpasses are a breeze. I felt safe amongst traffic but could also get places more directly and peacefully on bike paths. Our toddler loved getting in and out alone and didn't tire of multiple daily rides. Talk about the best of both worlds!

17.01.2022 With many of us working from home most days, Ride2work Day is a bit different this year. Still a gorgeous day in Melbourne for a little Ride from work to relax and wind down.

16.01.2022 As another marvellous Spring day wraps up, a little throwback to when we were still wearing jackets and beanies! Carl and his family had a great time on the Riese&Müller Load 60 rohloff. "I initially looked into child carrying options for our new born (now 9 months), as we previously both biked each day to work in the CBD and I hated the idea of starting to drive a car/traffic and parking to take my son to daycare. I really like the idea of being able to involve my son in the... activities that we both enjoy and hopefully in the near future going out for cycle day trips and overnight camping. While doing my research, I found the Load 60 which meets all our needs and including safety, I think it is important to be able to see him while we are riding and be able to talk, rather than being in the back or even worse in a trailer which is quite wide. I was concerned how the bike would handle with the extended front, but after a few rides it was really not an issue and feels amazing leaning into fast corners, the bike handling also improves with more weight in the cargo area. The bike can easily be ridden around 25kmh without the motor and there is no noticeable drag from the motor being off, but when you turn the motor on it is amazingly powerful when you hit hills. With the full suspension it kept my wife and son very comfortable over all sorts of bumps on and off road, the suspension also kept the bike's handling very stable even on gravel tracks. This is an amazing family bike and definitely a car replacement as advertised." Thank you for testing the Load Carl! #ebike #cycling #bicycles #outsideisfree #uphillflow #mobility #melbourne #riesemuller #cargobike #load #lockdown #winter #sunshine #cargoline #85nm #performancecx #boschcx #familytransport #quaxing #kidsloveit #suv #somuchspace

14.01.2022 With the sun out, temperatures rising and case numbers falling, it's a great time to be out on the bike. Bridget & Trent trialled the @riesemuller Multicharger and Load recently. "Our family recently trialled 2 electronic bikes for our family and were completely blow away by them. Living in the inner northern suburbs, and getting a little tired during COVID lockdown we managed to coincide our trial with some time of work so our family could head out and do some adventure and ...exploring. From long leisurely bike roads, trips to the the local market to get groceries, time trials around local running track, running errands and even family picnics we did everything in these bikes. We have three children and we were able to ease take them all with us in the big cargo carrier or spread them across the two bikes. We would definitely recommend these bikes to anyone, but particularly anyone with a young family, what a perfect, green way to have some fun with your family, get some exercise and minimise the amount of time and money you spend on and in your car." . . . #ebike #cycling #bicycles #rideeverywhere #cargobike #ecargobike #quaxing #urbantransport #transport #familytime #kidsloveit #trybeforeyoubuy #onelesscar #mobility

14.01.2022 One of our riders In Albany took the long way home and wanted to show off how enjoyable his commute is with his @riesemuller Supercharger 2.

13.01.2022 When her colleague moved jobs and she lost her car pool mate, Elizabeth decided to start commuting to work on the Orbea Optima ebike. As we're approaching Spring we tend to forget it was freezing only a couple of weeks ago. Kudos for not letting the winter cold deter taking up a new, healthy habit Elizabeth! "Riding the bike to work has been so easy! One morning it was only 3 degrees but with some gloves on I still got warm by the time I got to work. And I've been taking a ve...ry pleasant back streets route home." . . . #ebike #cycling #bicycles #outsideisfree #uphillflow #mobility #melbourne #orbea #boschebike #commuting #activetransport #urbantransport #lockdown #winter #sunshine #gofurther #ridetowork #quaxing #healthyhabits

12.01.2022 We never tire of research like this! "The people who bought e-bikes increased their bicycle use from 2.1 kilometers (1.3 miles) to 9.2 kilometers (5.7 miles) on average per day; a 340% increase. The e-bike's share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%, where they e-biked instead of walking, taking public transit, and driving." .... . . #cycling #ebikes #bicycles #transport #mobility #urbantransport #uphillflow #rideeveryday #cargobikes #familytransport #leavethecarathome #fightforplaneta

10.01.2022 Another e-cargobike trial! Lucy and her family tested the @riesemuller Packster 60: "We absolutely loved riding the Packster 60. Our car stayed in its parking space all week as we did our errands and explored our suburb (and beyond). My kids rode in style up the front, sipping babycinos, feeling the breeze on their faces, and chatting all the way. One evening we rode 10km home in gale force winds. With the bike at its highest power, I was able to cruise along comfortably ag...ainst the wind, and the kids were so secure they fell asleep! Before I tried the Packster 60, I thought riding with a big box on the front would be cumbersome and unstable. I was completely wrong! After a quick practice ride, it was easy to cruise around with 2 kids in the front and my bag on the rack behind. I loved that I could get as much or as little exercise as I wanted. Often I'd ride one direction of a journey using very little battery assist and then take it easier on the way home. It was easy to adjust the seat height and handlebars so that my tall husband could ride it as well. Riding an electric cargo bike is practical and FUN!" . . . #ebike #cargobike #ecargobike #cycling #transport #carfree #uphillflow #cargoline #packster #quaxing #kidsloveit #mobility #boxbike #sleep #snooze #bicycles #melbourne #lockdown #soeasy #whathills #familytransport #freetrial #trybeforeyoubuy @boschebikesystems @carbondrive @nuvinci

08.01.2022 Such a versatile transport tool! Thomas tested the Load 75 for a week for his everyday transport: "I had a fantastic time riding the R&M Load 75. It’s was a great way to exercise as well as do the needful things around the house like groceries run, quick dinner pickup and even taking clothes to the laundry. This was a great way to take a break from driving."... Want to experience it for yourself?

07.01.2022 Before we went to full lockdown, Folpmer tried our @riesemuller Load 60 rohloff for a week with his family. "To be fair, I've been riding a bicycle my entire life, and I was sceptical about ebikes. Through this trial I've discovered they're a wonderful way to get around! Dropping off our little boy at daycare takes at least 10mins by car in ideal circumstances, and just 14mins by cargobike, without breaking a sweat.

05.01.2022 Spring is really around the corner, we can feel it (although being Melbourne there'll be throwbacks to winter for sure). Daniel and his family tried the Riese&Müller Load 75 vario for a week for their transport needs : "We thoroughly enjoyed the week! The Load made all our daily adventures really enjoyable.
