“It’s fun to ride in. It’s better than a car!”.

Do you reach for your Urban Arrow more often than your car keys?

What has been your greatest or most memorable adventure with your Urban Arrow?

I bought a new bike for my son and hauled it across town in the Urban Arrow to surprise him at preschool. It’s so great that you can just hitch a kid's bike onto the Urban Arrow for when they get tired and need a lift.

My son is 11 and he still loves riding in it.
