Cycling Wild Rose with Frances Cycles

After some time emailing and chatting with @Joshua Muir at Frances Cycles last year, he kindly refurbished one of his former "Tourist" bicycles for us, and we finished building it up in Eugene. It's a rad touring and all-road bicycle in the French Randonneur tradition.

Packages leaving the backyard escape route from Wild Rose Headquarters with the aid of Frances Tourist and trailer 

We've been using the Tourist — along with a Frances'-made light and nimble Farfarer bike trailer — to deliver your packages from our homestead apothecary, forest garden, and product site to a Post Office in Eugene. 

Wild Rose packages arrive to be shipped. It's a quick ride to USPS downhill, and a longer ride back up to our hill-top shop. 

Super fun. Many thanks to @Joshua Muir and Frances Cycles!

As noted in our 2025 Radical Holiday Gift Guide - though apropos of little related to this blog entry - Frances Cycles also make very cool spatulas.
