Live in Manhattan and play hockey in Queens. Thinking about getting a cargo bike (probably electric) to get to the rink and back with my gear rather than taking the subway or spending a ton on taxi/uber. Looking for bike ideas.
Route is about 7 miles with a bit of elevation change when going over the Queensboro bridge. Bridge is a bitch on my road bike which is why I'm thinking eCargo. Not trying to go up that and then play a hockey game! Not to mention heading home after the game oof! Bikin takes about the same amount of time as the subway, buuuut I wouldn't have to take my hockey gear through subway cars and stations. Also, my bag wont smell up the subway on the way home. You're welcome New York lol! IDK if biking really make sense but its fun and trying to look at all my options. Interested to hear what you all think!
Hockey bag is 30" x 17" x 17" and sticks (x2) are about 6' long. Weight is about 20-30lbs depending on what extra stuff I bring.
Some lights would also be nice nice as I play late at night and would probably be biking home after midnight.
Maybe also a security system? I'm little worried about buying an $$$ bike and then having it stollen. I can probably lock it up in the garage at the rink and would keep it inside my apartment otherwise. Still thinking about security if I want to ride it other places. Any other NYCers have lock/security tips?
Any recommendations for bikes to look at? Thanks!
