Alex's Story: A New Family Pace

Looking for a way out of traffic? Alex from Gulfport, Florida knows the way. This is a story of how one Blix Packa empowered the Veidel family to go completely car-free. 


Alex used an electric tricycle for years and is no stranger to the micro-mobility movement. “That bike served our purpose for a short period of time, but at just 2 and 3, our kids had already run out of space and it's difficult for a trike to go more than 12 miles per hour.” This is when Alex started looking into e-bikes. “Blix caught our eye when we realized our dream bike was over $10,000. The Packa cargo bike could fit two children along with the rider, exactly what we needed and at half the price.”

Alex commuted via bike in his college days as well. “Both my wife and I enjoy a slower pace of life and we wanted to share this with our kids, without sacrificing convenience.” Built to do just that and paired with countless great reviews, Alex knew the Packa was a “must have”. “We often go a mile or so out of our way in order to take the safest route. It’s always fun and easy to explore with Blix. And after two years of daily use, we’re still tremendously happy with our choice.”

Grocery shopping, check. Soccer practice, check. Trips to school, the bank, and out to dinner, triple check. Traffic is non-existent and every day offers more options now that the Videl family is riding a Blix. “The bike allows us to take our time and enjoy life. We are outside more often and tapping into what matters most, each other and the world around us.”

There’s always a better way of doing things. Being open minded is the first step towards a happier life, and pedaling with Blix is the second. If you’re looking for a new adventure or a way out of your mundane routine, take a page out of Alex’s playbook. Pick a model, plan a route and see what life really has in store.
