Tern Short Haul Cargo Bike $1,099

Studies have shown that most people drive short trips around town. Less than 3 miles to be exact. If we can get people out of their cars and onto cargo bikes, we could make a real difference. The Short Haul by Tern is a compact cargo bike that makes it easy to get around town and get things done. Practical and uncomplicated, the Short Haul has everything the modern urban rider needs—and nothing that they don’t.

These bikes are an affordable cargo solution and will be arriving at Tern dealers in Q4. See more at Tern.

Ride Concepts Tallac Clip $180

Inspired by 90s sneaker culture, the Ride Concepts Tallac Clip looks like a Nike ACG boots had a love child with modern clipless MTB shoes and we dig it. The Tallac Clip uses traditional lacing for a tailored fit and a hook and loop strap for added retention. The Cordura® upper is breathable and lightweight, but also trail-tough and protective with a stitch-free and fully welded construction. What this means is yes, these shoes look good, but they’re designed to be tough. See more at Ride Concepts.
