More Than a Commute: How a Cargo bike Changed How I Get Around
Let’s be honest — commuting is rarely the best part of the day. But a few years ago, that started to change for me.
I began riding a cargo bike — not just for the usual reasons like saving money on fuel or avoiding parking dramas — but to turn an otherwise routine school run into something better. Today, I ride the school run with my kids almost every day on a cargo bike, and it’s become one of the most enjoyable parts of our lives. It’s not just a commute anymore. It’s time together. It’s fresh air. It’s laughter. It’s memories being made before the day has even properly started.
Everyday Moments That Matter
There’s something special about riding your children to school. You talk about the day ahead, you spot things on the street you’d never notice from inside a car, and the little routine of it becomes a thread that ties your mornings together. You can’t get that stuck in traffic with the radio on.
Not Just Practical — Surprisingly Joyful
Sure, the practical stuff matters:
You don’t need to worry about parking.
You’re not burning fuel.
And you’re actually saving time over short distances.
But the real benefit is how it makes you feel. Riding a cargo bike is genuinely good for your head. You show up at work or home feeling energised, not drained. Your kids arrive at school having chatted and laughed, not groaned in the back seat.
You’ve moved your body. You’ve felt the breeze. You’ve taken part in the world rather than just driven through it.
Spot light on the Moustache Lundi Cargo 3
Is It Easy to Ride? Yes. Surprisingly So.
If you’ve never ridden a cargo bike before, the Moustache Lundi Cargo 3 will surprise you.
Thanks to its:
Small 20" wheels
Low centre of gravity
Bosch Cargo Line motor (with 85Nm of torque)
...the bike is incredibly stable. Even with a couple of kids or a week’s worth of shopping on the back, it feels balanced and manageable. You barely notice the weight, especially when the motor kicks in to help on hills or when pulling away from traffic lights.
It's the sort of bike that makes you think "Why didn't I do this sooner?"
Memories on Two Wheels
Looking back, I know that one day I’ll really treasure the time I spent on that bike with my kids. These rides to school, to the park, or just into town for lunch — they’re not just transport. They’re together time. And in a world that moves fast, a few extra minutes spent pedalling through your day with the people you love is something worth holding onto.
