The story behind Haul-a-Day
A note from Bike Friday Co-Founder Alan Scholz:
Thank you for purchasing a Bike Friday Haul-a-Day, our
first Cargo Bike. Your bike is an example of the wonderful
empowering relationships we have with our customers.
It is the
combination of a number of concepts coming together to meet
the needs of today’s cycling families.
The idea of an adjustable frame bicycle came from our service
expert Tim Link, who mentioned to me that a number of
customers over the years expressed interest in the ability for
multiple users to share the same Bike Friday.
That idea simmered in my head for awhile. Then our local Safe
Routes to School Coordinator Shane MacRhodes stopped by to
have a conversation with Alan. The school program teaches kids
to ride safely, and uses fleet bicycles. Fitting bikes to a class of
middle schoolers of various sizes and shapes created a challenge,
and those two ideas came together in our OSATA.
When Shane needed a bike for the class leader, we began to
design the Haul-a-Day to handle any challenges a teacher might
face.
The Haul-a-Day is designed to be whatever you need it to be, a
Swiss Army Knife of Cargo Bikes. It is light and agile, and allows
smaller riders to feel in control with a load.
I hope you enjoy your ride,
Alan Scholz
