We're back from our 6th annual car free, family cycling vacation on Martha's Vineyard!
We camped with 2 other family's ,we had 5 kids total. We will never vacation without
other kids ever again!
I was able to load up a car with all of our gear, 1 Tour easy, Chariot trailer (for hauling groceries and occasionally a kid), Jackson's Bike and our amazing 10ft long Longbikes Recumbent Tandem!
The freedom of Martha's Vineyard Family Campground is just to good to pass up. Jackson and all the other kids were awake by 6;30am and on their bikes riding around the campground by 6;45 on their own!
Having the Longbikes Recumbent Tandem really changed my vacation as far as getting around. I was able to get out on open roads and go up island with Jackson.The tandem is incredibly stable and fast even without a second set of peddles.There is no more worrying about getting pulled side to side and possibly losing control with my trail a bike. I highly recommend using a tandem(of any kind)rather than a trail a bike if your kids are over 50 lbs,it's just too squirmy and unstable.
Traveling to Martha's Vineyard has become very easy.There are ferry's from Quonset Pt ,R.I., New Bedford ,Mass and now even Seastreak from Pier 11 in NYC.
If you need any info on traveling to this amazing island feel free to contact me!
I am contemplating organizing a car free family cycling vacation for next year...Stay tuned!! Shelly.urmo1@gmail.com

Cycling since the age of six. Never got off my bike,.I became a bicycle messenger in the 80's for Can Carriers, Started Born to Run Bicycle Messengers a few years after. I guess I made an unconscious decision to use my car as little as possible in NYC until I just eventually got rid of it.
I've bicycle toured all over the States including Alaska,and Hawaii!I also made it to the jungles of Mexico. As far as Europe I've only made it to France.I've always been a Cycling Commuter in NYC from Manhattan,Queens and Ft Lee ,NJ.
My wife makes fun of me because I hardly know how to navigate the subway!
I hope to enlighten all of you with this blog.Cycling is not just about Racing and Light Bicycles.If you travel the blog and use the search box ,you'll find bicycles and people from all walks of life.The uses for these incredible machines are endless especially in an Urban environment like NYC! My Favorite place to ride is without a doubt Martha's Vineyard.My favorite bicycle trip is riding from NYC to Martha's Vineyard! Second Favorite place to ride is Manhattan!
Have fun on the blog.If any of you have some interesting story feel free to Email me!
