I recently got a chance to go on another bike camping trip with CycleWild. This one was billed as a family friendly trip and three families attended. It was great to see such a wide array of bikes from Bromptons to Yubas to bikes hauling trailers – not your typical touring steeds. I took some photos and wrote a post about the trip for BikePortland. I took a look at my footage and there wasn’t enough for a full episode, but I did want to cut a short and sweet vignette to show people what it looks/feels like to do a bike overnight especially with a family.

We did our first bike camping trip in April. Discovering new joy as a family, with friends and their families, while traveling by bike, to camp, has been a memory maker. Sure beats the family vacations we had as a child, my parent’s never actually biked *with* us. Thanks for sharing, and inspiring more to do the same.

Do you happen to have the lady with the green longtail’s website?

Awesome! Where can you get the bikes with the built in kids seats at? Or are they custom made? Thanks!
