Different

While surfing, I found this, imagination anyone?

Think of the possibilities! These were found on an Amsterdam site.

AWESOME!!!! Bike on the back, car on the front! You could hide your engine under the hood, and have the bicycle rear, and look non-motorized! Also it looks great for cargo space, something always to be desired on a bicycle.

Something different sparks new ideas and possibilities! Different is good.

Good find on the pics!

Different is good, IMO if form follows function. Dutch cargo bike design has long been an inspiration for me in conceptualizing working bikes for use here. Of course, in Holland biking is a serious mode of transport.

I like the Bakfiets bikes:

though they are pricey.

Also, these guys in Seattle are onto some good stuff:

We have abike shop not to far from here that sells the Dutch cargo bikes.

I do admire and appreciate tinkerers who manage to come up with something new, but those bikes look like novelties to me. But cool novelties, nonetheless.

but a load like that would be unmanageable on gravel or any kind of off-road stuff. Maybe it wasn't meant for that. They might be useful making deliveries in a crowded city center. But maneuverability would be a problem.

I kinda feel bad being a nay-sayer. But those bikes look like they have only limited uses.
