Love to commute around town or want to start? Convert-a-bike is a cost effective and simple way for bike owners to convert their existing pedal bike to a work bicycle. Often the problem with riding bikes to work, or to run errands is the lack of space and the ability to store things.  This easy conversion kit allows the user to safely transport themselves along with their stuff.  Interested? Check out Brent’s proto type at the upcoming Trade Show.
