In Corvallis (go Beavers!) we had a bike trailer. Very good biking town like many in Oregon. Our small kids loved riding in the trailer. For people with balance issues, there were the adult trikes with huge baskets. Electrics were also coming on to the market then, electric bikes, scooters, mopeds. Coming from the plains, the west coast was like time travel to a greener future. Then it all lost momentum -- when my son was out there a couple years ago Portland had turned into a giant traffic jam.
