Another cargo bike I want to own before I die
Uncategorized January 20th, 2008
Corey the Bike Courier alerted me to the cargo bike offerings from Bilenky Bikes (Cargo Bike Page), a company that manufactures outrageously beautiful bicycles. Readers of TBL know of my pathological fetish for cargo bikes and so probably are not surprised that I am drooling over these things.
Bilenky Bikes also will cut your steel frame into pieces and add couplers so the bike can be broken down for air travel. I want this, too, although I try to avoid airplanes as much as possible.
Their cargo bike is considerably cheaper than the bakfiets offered by Clever Cycles in Portland, though perhaps not quite so massive. But as Corey indicates, if it can carry a full keg of beer, it’s probably big enough.

Neato. But, don’tcha think the center of gravity should be close to the ground for a front-loader? Naaaaaaaaaah. Forget it.
