Cargo

Anonymous

I’ve lived in Victoria long enough to notice when something’s shifting—and lately, it’s the bikes. Not just more of them, but all kinds: cargo bikes with wide front bins carrying groceries, multiple sleepy toddlers, or sometimes even full-grown adults. Dogs in little goggles poke their heads out of rear baskets. Cargo bikes you can rent at Victoria Electric Bikes. I’ve seen couches balanced across back racks, lumber strapped down with bungee cords, and one glorious rig with a full garden rake sticking off the back with a flag.

People are customizing bikes with paniers, child seats, and clever attachments, transforming them into full service vehicles. It’s like the city is slowly being redesigned at bike level. It’s a beautiful kind of practical, and it makes me feel like Victoria’s not just talking about sustainability—we’re pedaling right into it, one modified bike at a time.
