Bicycles For Carrying Just About Everything...

These days many folk around the world are choosing cycling as the much greener option for travelling, for short or long distances,
for leisure or business.
These cargo bicycles, freight bicycles, carrier cycles or bakfietsen as they are known have been around for a long time but their designs have become much more user friendly,
their construction stronger
and their frames lighter.
It seems there's a bicycle for all occasions.
As I've said before, it's time someone designed a stylish and comfortable safety hat...

This Bicycle Could Be Your Second Car...

Bakfiets are distinctive Dutch Cargo Bikes with the carry area in the front of the rider.
They've become increasingly popular outside the Netherlands but as practical as they are, the older versions were rather heavy.
The Dutch designers of the Urban Arrow took all these things and more into consideration when they designed their new electric powered-assist Urban Cargo Carrier.
It's intended to be a green replacement for the second car and won an innovation award when unveiled at the Eurobike Trade Fair a while ago.
You can check out its features here...
