All Things Holland

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.

My roommate sent me this video.  Here's some more information from the creator of this video  about the protests and what other nations are trying to do.  The video was made to spark similar ideas in other countries. What if most of the world started riding bikes more than driving.... interesting thought.
