Thanks to my new favorite bike blog lovelybike@blogspot.com I have stumbled apon the ideal Dutch family transportation vehicle. Say you have three children and no car. No problem! You put them all into a large crate on the front of your bike. I introduce to you bakfiet or the plural bakfeitsen the cargo bike of Holland. It was developed by a dad in need of a bike that his kids could climb into. I think it's awesome. It's a heavy little sucker but if you needed a bike to get groceries downtown this would be the perfect thing. Or bags of salt, or small dogs,or radiators,or even to transport live organs to hospitals.
