Whisk your groceries and your sweetie around in the Box Bike.
Haul groceries, compost, a litter of puppies with the Joe Bike’s nimble, easy-to-ride rendition of a Dutch-style boxbike. With fenders and a cargo capacity of 150 pounds, this bike is more eco friendly than a Prius that runs off of soy. The oversized rear rack comes with dedicated tie-downs. The low-maintenance, rain-protected Sturmey-Archer inner 7-speed hub includes a powerful drum brake that works just as well in wet weather as in dry.
A little rain doesn’t slow down the 8% of bike commuters in Portland, and a new Showers Pass “Portland” raincoat and cap is part of the secret to staying cozy, as well as stylish.
And to fill the gaps in your transportation options, the Carfree Starter Package also includes a one-year Zipcar membership with a $200 allowance. Going carfree was never so easy or complete.
Items are generously donated by Joe Bike, Showers Pass and Zipcar. Photo of “Portland” jacket by Jonathan Maus.
