We notice @ternbicycles hasn’t posted on Mastodon about this, so we’re sharing this news with the Fediverse: Tern Bicycles has a new (Gen 3, 2025 model) Tern GSD, "Our Best Cargo eBike for Families.”
If our kids were still young, and budget allowed, we’d love to have one! Check them out: https://www.ternbicycles.com/en/bikes/473/gsd?utm_campaign=gsd-g3&utm_source=mc-reg&utm_medium=email&utm_content=email1&mc_cid=8c4ba2b09a&mc_eid=1473c4e3fb BTW, we got a kick out of clicking their day/night option—and that photo made us wish libraries had Terns for bookmobiles!
@bikemonterey @ternbicycles @skinnylatte I recently bought an HSD, the smaller version of this bike
can confirm: it is already my favorite bike I've ever owned!
@kf @bikemonterey @ternbicycles I like the GSD but the HSD just feels much more manageable for me. One day. Or maybe the NBD
@skinnylatte @kf @bikemonterey @ternbicycles oooo if I can figure out where to safely park it at home, this looks perfect.
@petrillic @skinnylatte @bikemonterey @ternbicycles worth noting that the HSD is about the length of a normal bike, the NBD is probably a bit smaller, and most tern bikes can be stored upright! https://www.ternbicycles.com/en/support/kb/338384/how-transport-your-tern-e-bike
@kf @skinnylatte @bikemonterey @ternbicycles I just have a weird situation where I have a house, but 1)everything is up at least 3/14 steps; 2) there's no outdoor places to secure it; 3) the rear entry, which is the "obvious” one with 3 steps, goes into... my kitchen and living room. That's been the main impediment.
@petrillic @skinnylatte @bikemonterey @ternbicycles I simply store my bike in my living room
@kf @skinnylatte @bikemonterey @ternbicycles I wish I could... the joys of a 980sq' house :) The "entry" would be the easiest place to store, but it's up all those stairs :)
Not something I thought about when I was looking at a house.
@petrillic @skinnylatte @bikemonterey @ternbicycles my apartment is about the same size
@petrillic @kf @skinnylatte @bikemonterey @ternbicycles could you add a bicycle stairwell ramp? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_stairway
