While gasoline prices have stabilized in the last month as the peak summer travel is now past us, bicycle cargo trailers are still increasing as riders look to bring along more stuff with them. And while bicycle commuting has also reportedly fallen this year, there is no denying that bike cargo trailer use is increasing.
“In today’s economic climate, people have started to realize that it just makes economic sense to ride a bike when possible, instead of spending money on gas and car maintenance,” say the experts at Bicycletrailers.com. “People want to save money – while also doing something that is good for the environment.”
What was once considered the norm for most major cities has now moved into the suburbs and even rural areas, reports Bicycletrailers.com, as more people make the jump from depending on their cars to get them to and from work, school and even grocery shopping.
As reported by Bicycletrailers.com, this high level of versatility and the numerous types of bike trailers that are available has certainly contributed to the rise in popularity of bike travel. The company expects the rise in biking to continue, as more and more consumers decide to leave their cars at home. Happy trailers for those looking to hit the bike trails.
