This summer, I wanted something more meaningful than just riding my bike with my son in tow, unable to fully experience the journey. So, I decided to take on a creative challenge.
I stumbled upon a 12-year-old side carrier for sale and immediately saw its potential. After restoring it, I paired it with a budget-friendly Canadian Tire bicycle. But I didn’t stop there. I upgraded the bike with lighter, higher-quality components and re-imagined the design of both the bike and the side carrier to create a more cohesive and harmonious look.
After two weeks of hard work, the project was complete—and the joy on my son’s face made every second worth it. Now, we ride together, sharing the adventure side by side.
But it got me thinking: why did they stop making these side carriers? They’re such a brilliant way to connect with loved ones while enjoying the outdoors.
What are your thoughts? Would you bring back this design?
