Welcome to Cycle 9

Are you concerned about global warming? peak oil? your own health and happiness? the destruction (or better yet creation!) of your own community? Did you know that a bicycle can address many of these concerns? Imagine that – a very simple machine really, one that’s been around for quite a long time. It’s been held in high esteem as well as low. But it’s really our own Interactions with the bicycle that make the difference in our lives. I’m concerned about these things, so I started Cycle 9 to help connect the bicycle with these personal and societal goals. You see, a bicycle really did change my life.

Here at Cycle 9, we’re the web’s experts on electrifying cargo bikes. If you don’t know what that is, check out my video blog Go by Bike! to find out (and also for tips, thoughts, and randomness related to bikes). Our Retail Store connects people with bikes for carrying stuff or people, stylish low-maintenance bikes, folders, commuters, comfort bikes and kids bikes. Through our Online Store, we help connect people with their ideal electric-assist kit. Some of our most popular brands are Batavus, Surly (LHT!), Xtracycle, Yuba, Marin, Day6, and MORE. Click on Retail Store to see what we have.
