Who is The Urban Cyclist?
Hi, and welcome to The Urban Cyclist!
Several years ago, I made my first ever trip to the home country of my (now) husband - Denmark. It is fair to say that I fell in love with Copenhagen, and was utterly inspired by the flocks of people getting around this gorgeous city on their bikes. I came home and promptly bought bikes for the two of us, and started dreaming about selling beautiful european style bike goodies to New Zealanders.
Jump forward a few years, and we'd added a kid to the mix, and were starting to think about how to take him biking with us. I did masses of research and decided a Bobike seat was the one for us - but it wasn't available in New Zealand!! And so it began! I started my business with the Bobike range, and have been busy hunting out great gear ever since.
I'd love to hear what thing's you're looking for to make your bike rides that bit better!
