When you make a service appointment, the last question is if you would like a loaner bike while your bike is in the shop for service. The fee is $25, which covers the time from you dropping off your bike to the day after we contact you to say that your bike is ready for pickup.
The bikes in our Service Loaner program are Tern Short Hauls. These are very versatile mid-tail cargo bikes that we think you'll like a lot.
The bike will come with:
- dynamo lights (front & rear)
- rear rack w/bungee chord
- one large pannier
- frame lock w/extension chain
- fenders
- kickstand
The Short Haul is a very capable utility bike. The rear rack can accept either a Yepp Maxi Easy Fit child seat or a Yepp Nexxt Maxi child seat. The single pannier is a 37 liter Cargo Hold 37.
If you are not able to return the bike the day of, or the day after we let you know your bike is ready, you will be charged $25/day until returned.
Lost key fee is $10.
Treat this bike like it is your own:
YOU are responsible for this bike while it is in your possession. The bike has some anti-theft features like a seat leash, frame lock (to secure the front wheel) and a chain that integrates to the frame lock, but these items do not guarantee that the bike (or parts) will not be stolen. We do not have insurance that will cover theft from you, so understand that you will be responsible to pay for this bike if it's stolen or vandalized.
If you get a flat tire, you will need to pay for the tube (& possibly the tire), though we will cover the labor...
Dirty bikes will be assessed a $25 minimum cleaning fee.
UPDATE: There will be ONE Cargo Bike Webinar in 2024. See Eventbrite for details HERE
These webinars will make shopping for a cargo bike fun. A little education can take a lot of the stress out of the equation and make the process all about the years of joy that this purchase will bring you.
Luke is hosting 45-minute info sessions detailing things that you'll need to know to get started in the world of cargo bikes. Topics covered will include: front vs. rear loading bikes, brand differences, e-assist options, child-carrying 101, an overview of accessories and transportation options. We're offering a mix of dates and times to help you wedge us into your busy lives. The three sessions are the same, and during each webinar we'll have a guest presenter who will discuss how they utilize cargo bikes in their day-to-day life. There will be time for Q & A so please bring your inquiries!
About the host:
"I own Perennial Cycle and have been excited about all the things that cargo bikes can do for a household as well as a business a long time.
Luke Breen
In this webinar I will do my very best to educate you in regards to the various types of cargo bikes that are available and why certain riders would consider purchasing a certain type of cargo bike.
There will also be a guest presenter at each webinar. The guests are cargo bike users that will talk about how and why they use cargo bikes.
There will be plenty of time for Q & A with the guest presenter as well as with me."

The Tern Short Haul is a well designed, versatile utility bike that punches well above its weight class. We like the bike for its ability to be a do-it-all bike. Whether you're taking a 2 year old to preschool in a child seat, getting 4 bags of groceries using Tern Cargo Hold 37 panniers or heading out for a weekend bike camping trip, the Short Haul is up to the task.
Adding dynamo lights to the Short Haul is a great way to make it a ready-for-anything commuter. The lights are powered by the front dynamo hub, so you never need to wonder if your batteries are charged. Also, the lights are less prone to theft due to being hard mounted onto the bike. Just start rolling, hit the power button (on your front light) and you're lit up ahead and from behind.
Our dynamo light kit for the Short Haul is a complete kit for adding dynamo lighting to your Short Haul. When you see the product on our website (HERE) a default kit is chosen that includes an adequate set of lights for city use. If you want to use a more powerful front or rear light you have many to choose from in the options.
Adding brighter lights would be a good idea if you ride trails with no street lights, or if you have stretches of downhill where you want to go faster than 15 MPH.
All of our lights have a stand light. So when you are stopped, both the front and rear light stay lit for several minutes.
These are the FRONT LIGHTS you can select within options:
These are the REAR LIGHTS you can choose from in options:
Worth mentioning: The total amount shown on the listing includes the price of the default-chosen lights. When selecting upgraded options from the drop-down list, the new price reflects the selected light MINUS the price of the default light.
It's holiday season once again! As usual, we've prepared a gift guide to aid you on your way. Any one of these gifts would be sure to please even the pickiest of cyclists. And if you really can't decide, Gift Cards can be purchased in-store or online. Happy Holidays, and happy shopping!
