I like how this video showcases that this bike is not just about riding but how to effectively Get Stuff Done
The bike is only a starting point, the accessories are the key point to make it work in your life!
Thanks for all the great info! Bought a GSD and love it. Excited to stay car free in SF and put my 6 month old son on it when he's older. I accidentally bought the kryptonite 1210 instead of the 1275 and now I understand the difference....It's bigger and weighs more! Switching that out now!
I love that you’re sharing. Tern is very well served.
Nice setup. I've got the Hauler rack with a Wald 139 basket zip-tied on top. It ends up being a similar size to the Transporter, but it's deeper and I have a bungee net that goes over the top rather than just a cord or two. I also have a generic sit pad similar to a Thermarest in the bottom to keep things padded.
There are lots of great stem bags out there, but my favorite is my waxed canvas one from Randi Jo Fabrications. Hand-made in Oregon, although they've got a big backlog of work. They also make a kid's "Joey Pouch" that I plan to pick up as soon as I move up from a Yepp to the Clubhouse.
Thanks for sharing about Randi Jo. I've seen their work and love their bags. The Joey Pouch has really simple buckles for install that could work all over the bike!!
You’re being an excellent parent.
Helpful video. Like the idea of water carriers for kids.
Awesome. Let me know what you add to yours!
I only have an ordinary hybrid bike but a very interesting video and a very impressive machine overall. It shows how it can be a total car replacement.
Those 52 litre panniers are very impressive. I actually use a bike trailer to achieve carrying large or heavy loads but I also have a selection of panniers and I always take one or two with me everywhere.
It's better to be looking at them than looking for them! 😜.
But can I ask how secure are they if left on the bike?
If you go into your local shopping centre for a few hours are they easily removed?
By a thief or by yourself to keep safe? Do they easily fold up to carry?
Even though I live in a quiet rural area, I still wouldn't leave anything on my bike that I am not prepared to have stolen eventually one day.
Enjoying your video's and your enthusiasm for what you are doing.
Very helpful video for me, figuring out what accessories I should consider buying along a GSD S00. Regarding your setup, my only concern would be the kids' ease to access their seats by themselves with panniers covering the side decks.
We have a Tern GSD and have kitted it out very similarly for our 3 and 5 year old. We have been wondering which side deck extensions to get as the pannier bags seem to sit width wise between the wide and double wide deck size, but as we have the Yepp kids seat which would not allow the folding up mechanism I think we will go for the wide ones. I like the pannier adapter hack, that will help our 5 year olds legs stop being tangled in the straps and hopefully keep the bags from being so floppy. I like the bike chain bag idea too as this weighs and flops the panniers over. The one accessory I am still trying to get that will fit the bike is a rear facing bar end mirror - I don't like the big ones on the bars and want an end one but every one we have ordered doesn't fit the handle bar ends currently...if you have any ideas??? Thanks for the great video! PS we love our transporteur rack also!
Love it! I'm getting my GSD in a few weeks and I can't wait. DO you have another link for your lock pocket bag?
Lol. We don't rain all winter in NC. I learned the difference after being stationed in the PNW for 5 years.
Just wish Greenville was as good for bikes and kids as Durham.
Ha yes, we don't get rain like that at all here!
Are you in Greenville NC or SC?
@@BikeShopGirl NC.
I left for about a decade but I've spent most of my life in NC.
Excellent choice of lock chain combination but I’m surprised she only carries one.
It really depends where you live. In other places, I carried 3. These days, I don't leave my cargo bike for long periods of times in places that need that much security.
I’m a huge commenter! Great video! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Liked and Subscribed! Love the content, you have convinced me it's the bike for me. I am a bit on the heavy side of the scales and need to get an 11 year old up a hill, its about a km long one. Is the cargo line motor sufficient to help me along? I have tested the bike, but I had no hills near me at the time of testing.
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos, liked the camera one too, as I will need to shift some cameras too.
Thanks again!
The cargo motor is pretty spectacular!!
Love your videos! SO SO helpful!! we are kitting out our bike! Is there a way to stop everything in the panniers getting wet if you have it in bucket mode with yepp seats? Think I would prefer panniers to a storm box - as the storm box would be over kill in the summer months here - BUT I need to keep bags and kids dry in the winter - in your video I was worried that storm shield didn't seem to meet up with the panniers to keep the rain out?
Ideally would have both obvs!! please help! =)
just read all the comments below and saw you recommended a storm box a fellow Scot! so I think I'll do that and potentially try and manage with just the front rack in the summer - until I can sneak a pannier purchase past the OH!!
I think a future development for tern is a pannier / storm box cross over!! panniers with a zip on/off extra piece of fabric to from a top section round the club house. Maybe I'll have to make one! =D
how do their legs go on the sides when the panniers are full? thanks for your video :) im contemplating a cargo for 1 and 3 yr old boys
Exciting!
Their legs go around it like riding a horse :)
I'm seriously considering a GSD bike for my 3 and nearly 7 year old.
The one thing that's making me consider a front bucket instead of this style is getting the kids onto the back and keeping them secure.
I really like the look of the clubhouse plus bars but I'm wondering are they absolutely fixed and do you have to lift the kids up and over the bars to get them in and out? My near 7 year old is very tall for his age and I can't manage to lift him above my hips so I don't think that would suit if it's not possible to open up a bar on the side with ease.
Also the area I'm in is very hilly and includes a lot of sharp corners which I take very slowly but I would still worry about not having the kids fully secure (with or without the clubhouse bars), what kind of harnesses can be used other than he hardshell seats which they are both too heavy for at this stage.
Thanks for the very informative video, absolutely love seeing you pop up on my subscriptions page.
Sinéad, I am renting one this weekend, my tall almost 7 year just climbed in and out by herself no problem, over the clubhouse bars. 2 year old scooted in under then.
Hi, love your channel! It’s very informative and is the reason for getting me hooked on the tern GSD! I am keen to know more how you get on with the storm shield in combo with the Cargo Hold 52 Panniers. I live in Scotland, and well the rain does not just fall from the sky, most often it is coming at you horizontally from a multitude of directions!!! I know there is the option of the storm box, but for all the commuting I do with the kids vs other purposes I use the bike for I think I prefer the panniers. Keen to understand if the hack with the pannier straps, the Cargo Hold 52 Panniers and the Storm shield would create just as good a waterproof setup as the Clubhouse fort? Thanks in advance.
Thanks so much! Make sure to hit subscribe :)
For your use, I would probably get the Storm Box! In Colorado, where it was super cold and hard weather all winter long, I used a Storm Box and Storm Shield for the kids. The Cargo Hold 52 and Pannier Adapters are good for mild weather, but not for true car replacement if you plan to ride in ALL weather.
@@BikeShopGirl Thank you. I really appreciate your advice. Look forward to more content. Have subscribed 👍
@@martinsharman5490 thank you!!!!
Those are some big paniers.
Been a fan since you were assembling cargo carriers for acoustic bikes. I see your parent company sells Carla Cargo trailers. Any chance you could review that? I just bought one, but won’t see it for awhile. Bought a high spec R&M to pull it. Plan to use it to transport acoustic mtbs. Gave up a car. Now I can almost loose a pickup.
That’s wonderful to hear!
How useful! Transferrable items like the PoCampo would be a great fit for our lifestyle and small space. I do wonder, what pushed you to use the Transporter over the hauler with a crate? I'm currently shopping racks. Finding a good looking, inexpensive crate that fits the transporter is maddening.
Two kids backpacks :)
Hey there! Xtracycle no longer makes the Lock Pocket. Do you have any other similar bags you'd recommend? I have a Tern GSD with a clubhouse (though not currently installed) and am looking for something similar to the Xtracycle Lock Pocket to store my heavy chain lock in that won't sag out my panniers. I'm considering the Po Campo kids handlebar bag but curious if you have other suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!
I am in germany
and could not find the tern i like.
this is so sad.
it seems to be here nearly impossible to get one with carbone belt and gearhub.
btw i wish there could be a version with a side car
and there would be a frame with normal crankset but prepared for upgrading with brose/shimano/pinion and Gates belt drive later.
Can you please make a video or explain how the Tern Cargo Panniers 52 straps are supposed to be used with a Yepp child seat installed. My Yepp seat is at the front position, and the foot rest interferes with the pannier’s front straps. What is the recommendation here and why can’t I find a video showing this on TH-cam?

Hello! Thanks for the review and list!
The clubhouse + product description says it “Includes four bottle mounts for water bottles, coffee mugs, and locks”
I haven’t seen what they looked like so far. Or if they actually exist. Do you happen to know ?
There are essentially 4 sets of 2 screws like you would find for a waterbottle.
Hello, is there a system to carry along the kids, their bikes (16 or 20 Inches) ? Thank You.
What size tires does she use? My bicycle uses 26x2.35 tires which can be a pain to find.
Hi Arleigh-Do you have a solution for the GSD for when you want your kids to bike a certain distance but can’t bike the whole way and then need to attach their bike securely and ride on the GSD? I’ve got a 10 year old who rides a 24” bike. I know some people bag and drag but not sure I’d be comfortable doing that for 10+ miles.
I've pulled a trailer with my kid's bike for this reason!
Do you think the gsd will ever get a class 3 motor similar to the hsd? I really like the design of this bikes but find 20 mph is a bit too mild for my style.
Most markets don't allow kids to ride on Class 3, so I highly doubt it.
When commuting with the kiddos do you add the storm box when needed or try and get by using the panniers and having the kiddos have their fit in the bags? I’m trying to decide if I want the storm box or panniers….
Tim, I think it depends where you live and how extreme you'll be riding, and how cold your kids get. I'm in NC, I'm going to try the panniers until the kids are too cold to deal. I'll keep you posted what temp that is :)
@@BikeShopGirl thanks! We’re in Brooklyn, NY but for now I’m just commuting my 4 year old to school 10 minutes. Her next school for most likely be further away.
I don't have any kids but am considering the GSD to replace my truck. I would need to be able to carry big grocery loads and adult passengers.
The Clubhouse Plus looks helpful to carry crates full of stuff. Can the Clubhouse Plus sides be easily lifted to fit an adult passenger? Our could I use wingnut washers to lift the sides easily?
I would also like to be able to pull my Burley flatbed trailer. Do the Wide or Double Wide Decks interfere with GSD's ability to pull a trailer? Or could I use something like a Robert Axle Project axle do the trick?
Hey Dan!
I would look at the captains chair for an adult passenger. It can still fit a crate using the armrest parts.
Flatbed will work with either. In the Double Wide Deck, it would be able to fold up out of the way cleanly.
@@BikeShopGirl thanks!!
Like that big front rack.
Sadly the Xtracycle Lock Pocket are no longer in production. Know of any other similar lock pockets? Love your videos, cheers!
look for a handlebar bag :)
What's the difference between the GSD s00EI and the LX?
Hi! I'm not sure what the S00EI is.
There is a S00 LR, which in the US the REI stores carry.
The S00 LX has an upgraded front headlight, 500Wh battery instead of 400Wh, and a Cane Creek Thudbuster seatpost.
Hello everyone, what anti-theft system do you use? In Paris (France) we need two of these. If you have some recommendations, it would be perfect! Thanks a lot!
Does pow unity work there?
@@BikeShopGirl yep thank! A follow up question then, what kryptonite U lock and chain lock are the best fit for a GSD? I saw that you use in your video the 1275 chain for instance but no U-lock. Again thank a lot for you reply!
GSD. Interested. Conte's Bike Shops in Williamsburg is listed as a dealer on Tern website. But not on Conte's. We live in Yorktown, VA. I'm attracted to GSD's utility and versatility. I'm 67 years old and about 6'3" and 192 lbs. We have some small hills here. Can the local bike folks, Conte's, have one sent to them so I can test ride the GSD? Propel sells them in NY. Don't want to go out of the area.
Hey there,
Conte’s has many locations and not all stock Tern. Did you happen to call them to see if the one near you has one?
Would you mind sending me an email and I’ll do my best to find you one near by. Arleigh.greenwald@ternbicycles.com
Hi! Im wondering how is it that you carry 3 year old on a clubhouse, if the age limit says 5yrs? Of course it depends on a child and height etc, but would you say it is safe for a 3year old? I have a 3year old and 8year old and most times I just carry the 3year old in a Yepp maxi, but it feels the seat hangs so long back alone with no other child in the middle, I dont like the feel and I wish to get clubhouse instead. What do you think? My 3year old is about 93cm tall.
It really depends on the kiddo, their size, capability, and where you are riding
@@BikeShopGirl But you have carried a 3year old in a clubhouse? So you say in the video. Im just wondering are these safety limits a bit high side…
Which bike rack is best for car transportation please?
Transporting a GSD or some other bike?
@@BikeShopGirl gsd, I'm in the uk
@@southseaplacentaremedies874 There really aren't many racks that can hold the 70+ lbs. I personally transport mine in a van.
@@BikeShopGirl how helpful 😂 (I've since found out the Thule tow bar racks are fine for Up to 132lb) 😉
I would love to get your parent opinion on bikes and ages. I would be okay moving a smaller child in a bakfeit. This bike is a good solution, but I think the child needs to be 3-4 years old on this. Eventually, at some point, I’d want them on their own bike? What’s your expert opinion?
We used bakfiets until the kids were 2-3 on quiet neighborhood streets.
I expect to carry them on certain roads and areas until they are mature enough to make sound choices. Both my kids ride now and have since they were 2.5 but it’s not safe for them to do so everywhere we go
@@BikeShopGirl That all makes extremely good sense. I would love to see a video where you examine these choices and judgements. Could be very helpful to a lot of folks. I think one of the number one objections people have to giving up the car is, "how do I move my kids and their stuff around?"
@@hemaccabe4292 @He maccabe Unfortunately it is a huge liability concern and something I feel comfortable talking about in too much depth on the internet
@@BikeShopGirl I think you meant to say "uncomfortable." I understand. I really appreciate what you do choose to share. Thank-you.
Seems like a bakfeit would be better?
