Presenting the Bakfiet cargo bike. It holds two children (with seat belt) or a weeks groceries with room to spare.

The short version is depicted. For those who eat even more than I do, there is a longer model. Total length? Eight feet!

A pity the Dutch don't know about Hills, or bicycle gearboxes.

Supposedly it is actually very easy to manage. The gear ratios must be quite low and it isn't designed to hit much in the way of speed. After all, there can little ones in that front box. BTW, the picture is not the eight foot model. Cute, what?
