Pedaling with Pride in Santa Cruz

Our Christiania bike got some rainbow love for the Santa Cruz Pride Parade this year.

Armed with some felt, scissors, a needle, and the trusty arches from our Prairie hood, we turned our cargo box into a true rainbow ride. The kind of DIY joy that takes you right back to elementary school craft time.

Bonus: it all held up through the whole parade!

We rolled through downtown Santa Cruz on June 2, surrounded by fun, laughter, and excellent outfits. The streets were packed with celebration—and our Christiania bike was right in the middle of it, carrying the fun (and a few snacks, obviously).

That’s the magic of these bikes. Whether you're hauling groceries, kids, or advocating for basic human rights to love who you love, a Christiania turns everyday rides into joyful moments—and special events into full-on experiences.

Want to roll with Pride next year? Start dreaming up your bike décor now. Felt, ribbon, glitter, LED lights—you name it, your cargo bike can wear it.
