Momma Was a DIY Biker
This velo vixen had her training wheels on before she knew it. Brought up car-free for the first few years of life, my bicycle-centered lifestyle started at an early age. Karyn, my mom, crafted this homemade kid carrier out of a tricycle, a basket, and a little faux-fur leopard print lining for comfort and style. The carrier would of course not be complete without the side walls, preventing little fingers from making their way into the spinning wheels while riding. If you want an affordable, accessible mode of transportation, that keeps you in shape, and provides plenty of outdoor time for you kids, then why not get out a napkin and a pen, and get thinking of what invention could be next!

In the caption for the photo of Omar and son Sachaa, we mistakenly left out one of Sachaa’s surnames (Rudrum) on the photo credit. Apologies to Sachaa’s mum! Sachaa’s full name is: Sachaa Pyar Rudrum Bhimji!

In this issue we look at all kinds of projects people have made themselves, we go on a tour of Montreal's bike culture and hear about a craft revival. We also review the Biria EB7 and the Yuba Mundo, see some big things being carried on bikes and learn to make wood fenders. And there's more! Learn why riding is a great way to get around when you're pregnant, learn how to maintain a lively advocacy organization and hear positive bike stories from cities around North America.
