The Bakfiets
Uncategorized September 13th, 2007
Clever Cycles alerted me to this article with a cool video of a family using the Bakiets cargo bike. These are the beautiful Dutch bikes with the small front wheel and the long cargo box in the front of the rider.
I got a cargo bike myself recently, and hope to have a picture of it up on this blog as soon as Elizabeth teaches me how to post pictures here. Mine, however, is not nearly so nice as those in the video from Clever Cycles. Mine’s a three-wheeler I got in Nogales, Mexico for $220.00. It has one speed, a coaster brake, and it has proven itself remarkably easy to flip.
On the other hand, you could easily carry a refridgerator on the thing.
