feel like you have too much cargo and not enough bike? The EdgeRunner from Xtracycle will take care of that. This handy bicycle combines the functionality of a baby seat with the practicality of a baby seat and a passenger seat, and on top of that, there’s a built-in bike rack as well! Referred to as “an easy to ride sport-utility vehicle,” the EdgeRunner allows you to do everything an SUV can, except you know, things like going on the highway beyond 50 miles per hour.

You can even model the EdgeRunner exactly to your liking because it comes in two sizes, three models, and four super fresh frame colors. “The EdgeRunner completely reinvents the cargo bike, with its low cargo platform, upright yet efficient ride-position, 100 percent chromoly step-through frame, and complete line of cargo and family specific accessories,” reads the press release.

So skip the car, save money on gas and help out the environment all at the same time with the EdgeRunner. Someone actually called it the “Range Rover of the bike world,” so make all your biker friends envious. Get loads of groceries, cart your kids or your friends on it and get some exercise at the same time!

If you want to have a little fun with the EdgeRunner, you can try and reenact that Portlandia skit with it. This bike would prob do a much better job than Carrie and Fred did with their bikes!
