A Cargo Bike That Cares: The Naço Tricycle

When Naço Architecture developed their Tricycle, they asked, “How do you move large loads around a city without using any gas?” What the global firm — which has offices in Paris, Shanghai and Buenos Aires — came up with was the Tricycle, a cargo bike that serves as an alternative to large vehicles, such as buses, electric trams and utility vehicles usually used to move heavy items from one point to another. The environmentally friendly Tricycle enables users to transport things without using any of the quickly depleting fossil fuels.

The Tricycle comes in a modular arrangement, so that you can put the caddy in the front or back of the bike, so that users get to choose which option is the most sensible for the things they need to move. Peddle furniture, clothes you need to donate, refrigerators, a washer — anything that fits in the caddy really, and go back and forth. We’re sure it will be a lot quicker than when Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen were bike movers on that Portlandia skit.

Beat the 2022 Price Hikes with AJ Madison’s Black Friday Sales and In-Stock Guarantee

LG Refrigerator with InstaView Window.

The microchip shortage is affecting so many different industries, from automotive to consumer electronics and beyond. But it's not the only shortage we're experiencing right now, and it's certainly not the only supply chain issue -- many of which are sure to get worse as we near the holidays and the end of the year. That's why many retailers are offering deals earlier than ever this year, with some added benefits for shopping early. There's no guarantee stock will be available later, especially for items that are high in demand, such as modern appliances. Even if you find an awesome deal, the items -- or appliances -- may not even be available to ship. That's why something like AJ Madison's in-stock guarantee is a huge deal. Even better, it's hosting a series of Black Friday deals right now, dropping up to 24% off new appliances from makers like LG, Samsung, and more.

If you want to shop that sale, which even includes appliances outfitted with smart technology, you can always do so, below. There's a lot to sift through, at least until the inventory starts to run low. Many of them come in collections, or packages, with multiple appliances so you can upgrade your entire kitchen. Now is the perfect time to shop too, not just because of the deals, but also because, in 2022, the prices of these appliances are going to increase. If you've been looking to upgrade, don't miss out on this opportunity. To make things a little easier, we browsed the sale to find some of the best and most exciting appliance deals.
