I Want One



It was love at first site. The bike not the girl, I'm happily married. If I ride a bike like this will I be as chic as she is?

I'm now on a mission. I want a cargo bike. I was originally thinking I would get a chariot trailer (like all the neighbors), but I really don't like having the kids behind me. I can't see or talk to them. I don't know if their fighting or singing (not the my kids ever fight!) Also, the biggest problem I have with the trailer is I feel like I never have a true sense as to where it is, is turning right, is it going over a rock or pothole? Maine is not know for its great streets. Plus if I'm going to give a my car I want to be able to speak to the kids. Hear about preschool. Sing Ba Ba Black sheep.

I have started to do some research and I will post my reviews on each bike I consider. This is a Bakfiets cargobike, a high end dutch company. They run about $4000 so this already puts it out of my league. Plus I don't like the idea of importing from overseas. Seems like a lot of waste.

Once I got started researching I was overwhelmed with the options. Here are a few articles/blogs that I have enjoyed:
