Bicycle with teardrop

[H@nk]

Hi All,

If you have a bicycle and you are sportive enough to do your daily grocery shopping by bike, here is the solution for you. Some crazy dutchman made these things to go on holyday. Enjoy the piccies

I like it!!! It could also save making multiple trips at a gathering... load up your pot luck dish, your camp chair, and a small beverage cooler... plus get some exercise while doing it!!

Roll down the paths pulling that with an opafiets might be some fun! I've done a bit of biking in Maastricht and Heerlen.

Oh come on and visit Holland, country of the bikers.
I bike every day, so my wife does and my children. We even do our groceries by bike. I am almost 50 years of age and have been biking almost every day of my life. For me, the special part of biking is gone with the wind.
When one of you come over to the Netherlands, contact me and I'll give you a bike for free for one or two weeks, than you have a lot of fun. Traveling trough Rotterdam, with windforce 8 right in front of the face. Biking when it rains like hell. And so on. See you, Grtz Henk

I live in a place where the climate is quite moderate. Consequently it attracts a lot of homeless people. Someone in the city has designed something very similar for a homeless person (most have bikes) which can open up as a tent and fold up and be trailered carrying the person's belongings.

CHEERS!

I lived in Amsterdam. I owned a single speed bike, as most were back then. I could reach any point in the city in under 15 minutes, and I lived on the prinzengracht..... near the ann frank house.

There bicycles were part of the traffic and respected as such....

Here, not a chance. the mentality towards bicycles is 'get the hell out of my way.......... get a CAR..!!'

I think you will find more about them at this site.

Thanks for the link. And with all the building ideas I am getting I am gonna be broke for a long, long, time. The bank of ME needs a bailout

This is the one I built. It started as a broken jogging stroller that I found on the side of the road. I just added an arm and hitch that can be bought separately from Chariot Trailers, and built a "Raindrop" inspired frame. The whole thing is covered in awning vinyl.

Oh yeah; I built the bike too
