My daily commute by bike is a 60 mile round trip, so needless to say, I don't do it that often and possibly less often than I should. However, there are shorter car trips I do that I'd like to cut out, shopping being one of them. Feeding a family of four is a multi bag operation and has been a car trip for too long. Today, I got the news that I no longer need to take the car. Enter the Transport+.
If you've read JB's blog you'll know that this is a bike that has split opinion at Trek HQ, and, for a while in the UK, it was uncertain whether we'd be able to run it. We can and we will. It will retail at £2200. I'm having one, that's a given, but I guess the point of this post, like JB's, is to canvas opinion. You are the people we make bikes for, if you don't like something, we find out about it pretty quickly; so what's your take on the Transport+?
I know it's not a bike for everyone and it is in many respects, a very specific bike to purchase, but I see it as an opportunity to make that shopping trip less of a chore and more fun. And the added benefit is that the car will sustain less shopping trolley damage. Oh, and there's the environment and...you know the rest.
