Specialties
Practical Cycle is a Transportation Company. Our mission is to make cycling more practical for everyday people. We specialize in electric bikes, cargo bikes, city bikes, and adult tricycles as viable transportation options that are more fun, healthy, green, and affordable than automobiles. We stock a wide variety of accessories designed to make your bike more practical. We also offer bike rentals from our prime location in Old Sacramento near the American River Parkway bicycle path.
History
Established in 2010.
Practical Cycle started out with a broken down Worksman tricycle. This poor thing was all beat up, two wheels were missing, and it had survived a fire. It looked like a forgotten war hero.
It seemed hopeless, but my dad paid $ 5 for that old trike and fixed it up real nice. Then he slapped a sticker on it that said, «ONE LESS SUV,» and started using it to haul all sorts of stuff. Groceries, garden supplies, building materials… You name it.
He turned a lot of heads too! Everywhere he went people fell in love with his tricycle. Complete strangers were constantly asking where they could find one of their own.
Sadly, there was nowhere to send them. Traditional bike shops tend to focus on high-speed racers, and the corporate mega-stores offer mainly low price, poor quality bikes. Meanwhile, most of us just want to get around town in comfort and style.
That’s when Practical Cycle was born. Our mission is to make cycling more practical for everyday people.

Business Owner
Tim Castleman practices what he preaches. His electric cargo bike is his sole means of transportation.
Since 9/11, Tim has fought to end America’s addiction to foreign oil. He developed a hemp-based biofuel system and lobbied for the legalization of industrial hemp in Arizona. He organized two «Peace Trains» to Washington, D.C., to protest war in the Middle East and promote rail travel. He also founded the voluntary conservation movement featured in the popular film, iDrive55, which debuted at the Nevada City Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival.
