You've found Xtracycle cargo bicycles, which is really the same thing as Xtra-cycle, Xtra Cycle, Extra-cycle or Extracycle but different. Xtracycle's LongTail innovation is a hitchless trailer that evolves the bike rack, bike bag (or pannier or basket), bike trailer, passenger seat, and baby seat into one cargo bike or sport utility bicycle system. With a long wheelbase, balanced center of gravity, and versatile carrying capacity, your Xtracycle LongTail may open the door to car-free or car-lite transportation in your life. Load your LongTail with precious cargo: a week's worth of groceries, or a picnic in your FreeLoader; your children, friends or lovers on the SnapDeck. A WideLoader and LongLoader enable you to carry, yep you guessed it, wide and long loads like surfboards, ladders, instruments or equipment. Be a daily bike commuter. Go out for a ride and end up at work. Be a weekend bicycle tourist. Re-imagine eco tourism: from a simple daytrip to an epic adventure. Travel the globe with the function of a Sport Utility Bike and explore trails, beaches, markets, neighborhoods, and parks. Ride to love. Ride to smile. Ride to feel sexy and healthy and to have fun. Welcome to a life of vitality, simple joys and a brilliant future.
