The Cargo Bike! With room for two kids and the shopping, plus a great rain cover - there is no longer any excuse for not getting exercise!
Andrew has been going on about this for a long time now - maybe a year?
Now that we finally have it, I really wish I let him buy it earlier. He is finally getting on top of that post-baby flab (it's not only female bodies that undergo a change during pregnancy), and Torsten loves it. He can even read mini-books on the hop (see photo).
I get a good amount of exercise too, trying to keep up on foot with the stroller...

lol brilliant
ReplyDeletemy hubby wants one of the carts you pull along behind. I thought he was nuts but now i find myself googling them too. I'd never seen a bike like this though. Is it hard to maneuver?
Unreal! We have been thinking of getting a cargo bike for ages so i'm very jealous. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am always operating the pram alongside, and apart from a truncated trip on the flat haven't even tried the cargo bike with a child inside. But my husband said it is very easy to steer. However he commented it was a bit hard to get up steep hills in spite of the 8 in-hub gears. For that reason it's great for his fitness though!
ReplyDeleteApparently a two-wheeled bike like this is more stable than a trike with a cargo box, despite what one might think.
that's so cool deb. torsten really needs a captain's hat now and a spyglass... i am rightto assume he is the one directing???
