The most important thing is now you've got a bike to tow your Rad, or vice versa.

Here's to keeping the N + 1 rule alive!

If you got the money. Isn't the Rad a cargo bike?
How many of those do you need.

Indeed the my Radwagon 5 now set up perfectly for my needs but there are things I want to try that it does not have.
