Inflatable SUP bike trip

Mission accomplished. I was paddling in Oakland Saturday with some friends and figured it was the perfect time to see if I could bike there with a SUP and all my paddling kit. I loaded the cargo bike with an inflatable Starboard 14'x30" Touring SUP with paddle, pump, clothing and the rest of my normal junk. Pedaled the 7 miles to the put-in, pumped her up with ease and paddled out.
