SUMMER ADVENTURING WITH THULE

We’re ready for summer adventures! Our favorite outdoor adventure brand, Thule (commonly mispronounced, but in case you’re curious, it’s “too-lee”, not “th-ool”), sent us two accessories we needed. This post is shared in partnership with them.

First up, this bike rack. It’s the highest weight capacity Thule makes (necessary for e-bikes!) and also works with standard road bikes as well as smaller kids’ bikes. It comes fully assembled and was easy to install, and I can attach or remove it on our hitch by myself without tools. It also folds when not in use, saving valuable garage space. The bikes are secured with multiple points of connection and locking, giving us total peace of mind when on the road. Bonus: it’s in stock right now. If you are looking to carry 4 bikes at a time I was also looking at this with the add on.

One of the best features of this bike rack: full trunk access even with bikes loaded. It folds down like this.

Next up: this cargo box. Originally planned for skis, but also for anytime we need extra space when road tripping. This is the luxury version of cargo boxes. It’s felt lined, opens on both sides, is quiet, and is even outfitted with LED interior lights for access at night. It’s glossy black and very pretty (things I never thought I’d say about a cargo box). We love it. Like so many things right now, do you have to wait a while to get one in stock. At the time of this writing, I found a similar style Thule cargo box currently in stock here.

We are entering the start of the reason why so many people love the pacific northwest: summer. It’s hard earned here, and well deserved. The proximity to the water, lush greenery, all the nearby trails and all our friends ready to play are our reward for making it through another winter.

Thanks to Thule for partnering with me so many times over the years. More on the jogging stroller we still have and use and love and that never fails us, even 6 years later, here. Best suitcases that we use every time we travel here.
