The Tern GSD

   Tern GSD

The cargo bike that redefined the category.

Since 2018, this bike has been one of our most popular bikes in the shop. It simply outperforms bikes that came before it, and has spawned countless imitators.

As one of Washington, DC’s Tern dealers, we have been huge fans of the GSD since it was introduced. Our customers have put thousands of miles on these bikes and used them for the school run, everyday shopping, and everything else in between.

If you’re considering becoming a car-lite or car-free family, consider checking out the Tern GSD as a substitute. As Washington, DC becomes more bike-friendly and continues to add infrastructure we have seen new GSD riders become bike evangelists in a rather short time.

Please visit our shop at 600 H St. NE to take a test ride of one of our in stock models.

Basil Bottle Baskets

Since the beginning of TheDaily Rider, we’ve been fans of this robust multi-function basket. We introduced them at the 2011 H Street Festival and they’ve been a staple ever since.

These baskets come to us from Basil in the Netherlands. They also produce a front basket with a similar design.

With no mounting hardware or straps, they’re easy to install on any rear rack. You’ll find no end to their utility and surprising capacity. Attach one or double your capacity with two. Having one side loaded doesn’t affect your balance.

Already have one? Show us what you’ve put in your #bottlebasket on Twitter or Instagram!
