No joke, a couple weeks after my divorce was final it happened to be Black Friday. I bit the bullet and purchased myself a Madsen. I had been wanting one for years, but the now ex wouldn’t budge. I am so glad I did! My younger ones can ride their own bikes, but there have been times they’ve needed a rest. I later ordered the middle insert so our little 8lb dog can come along and she loves it.

I am loving my beautiful Madsen! I use it every day to pick up my kids (3 and 5) from school and run errands around town. All three of us are instantly in a better mood the minute we get on the bike. Whenever it's time to leave the house, my kids ask hopefully if we are going on "Biggie the Big Bike Blue Blossom" as they have named her (yes, it's a girl!). We love the smiles we get from people around town who see us riding, and I've had lots of people stop me to ask about the bike. I've met so many new people and had lovely conversations as a result. Thank you Madsen for adding so much joy to our lives!

Our family was so excited to receive our fully loaded bucket bike after our purchase. We have four children ages 8, 7, 5, and 3. With this range of skills to ride bikes is tough to ride as a family. But Madsen Cycles made it perfect for us. It was so perfect in fact after using it for just one week. We purchased a Second Madsen Cycle!! We take the bikes downtown, to wineries and school. Further and most importantly it is a huge sense of freedom for our daughter who was diagnosed with brain cancer. And now years later after a brain operation, Chemotherapy, and brain radiation and (now cancer free). It is difficult if not impossible for her to ride a bike. So this is a blessing for our family and our daughter to feel the joy of “riding” a bike! Thank you Madsen Cycles! Love the Newtons

From the minute I ordered this bike customer service was top notch. Everyone at Madsen was so attentive to detail and you can tell they take such pride in their product. To say I love my bike is an understatement. It gives my 2 young daughters and I the freedom to bike to all our favorite places in our beach town. I recommend the bike to everyone I know. Love love love my Madsen!

When I am home with my 1 and 3 year old, when someone is having a meltdown (sometimes me!), when we are all gonna lose it, when we have been stirred into crazy, I do one pretty simple thing: get the kids in the bike. Everyone is instantly in a better mood--we sing, we look for Egrets, we turn mundane activities like grocery shopping into events, and we enjoy the day! This was not a whim purchase for us: we don't have tons of money, but I love riding a bike and there was no way I could squish my kids into a trailer together (I tried once and my daughter just beat the heck outta my son the whole time). It's not the fastest way to get places, but I am so sick of rushing around, shoving someone in a car seat, and just getting through the day. This bike makes each day so special and when I really think about it, each day IS special. These tiny humans that I made are only getting bigger and bigger--one day too big and too cool to ride in the bucket . This makes me so sad but hopefully they will return the favor and pick me up from the nursing home in the bucket bike! I really do love this bike and my only regret is that I didn't get it sooner.
