A Bicycle Built For Everyday Adventure
The bicycle is the most efficient transportation device yet invented. Trouble is, modern bicycle design has been far more influenced by the needs of racers than by needs of everyday riders like you. The result: your bike is compact, light, and strong, but it doesn’t have a good place to carry a week’s groceries, waterproof storage capacity, or a good seat for a passenger.
Try to carry a load on a regular bike and you’ll compromise safety, performance, or convenience and some everyday items will be just downright impossible to tote. If you’ve ever balanced swinging grocery bags on your handlebars, hoping they don’t swing into the wheel, swerving as they sway; if you've ever struggled to find a parking space, paid $50 for a tank of gas, or realized that, like most Americans, 90% of your car trips are under two miles, you’re not alone. A bike that completely meets your transportation needs would not only be speedy and the right color; it also must enable you to bring the things you want without sacrifice.

Retrofit Kits
FreeRadical Hitchless Trailer Kit
The FreeRadical comes with everything needed for seemlessly adding a trunk and a backseat to your bicycle. It is an attachment for your bicycle that deftly shifts your rear wheel back 15 inches and transforms your existing bike into a Sport Utility Bicycle.
Imagine your favorite bike with the rear wheel stretched out behind the seat, a big, stable platform for a load or a passenger, and elegant saddlebags (we call them FreeLoaders -- click the link to see what makes them so functional) on either side that are expandable when you need them and are cleanly out of the way when you don't. Best of all, your bike is still lightweight and fast, and because the load is centered between your two wheels, the whole package handles with ease. Suddenly you have much less need or desire to drive around town for your errands. Picture this: a breezy unloaded ride to your favorite grocery store, coasting reliably around corners; arriving ahead of traffic; parking at the rack directly in front of the entrance; shopping and easily loading your four bags of groceries; then pedaling home, care-free on a bike that handles just as swiftly now that it’s loaded. And grinning when you realize you just turned an errand into a fun, invigorating excursion.
Build your own (Base Frame + Install Kit)
This is as basic as it gets.
The Xtracycle modular rack system allows you to customize your S.U.B. to your specific needs.
