Tern Sidekick Footrests
Best durable passenger support for urban cargo bike commuters.
These platforms turn a cargo bike into a legitimate passenger vehicle, offering a stable, grippy foundation for riders that feels far safer than dangling legs. While they add a bit of width to your bike's profile, the integrated cargo slots make them surprisingly useful for securing gear even when you're riding solo.
