A recommendation by tatorandtots

tatorandtots' recommendation

I recently restored an adult tricycle. Yes, an actual tricycle. A Schwinn, to be exact. And yes, people do point and laugh at me as I pass them. (For the record, by "restored" I mean that I bought it for $30 at an estate sale, cleaned it and inflated the tires).

Still. I did all of that WD40-ing for a noble purpose- to transport my 4-year-old son in the big back basket like a sack of turnips when riding with my older kids. It made sense at the time.

Then I saw this..... Now I don't wanna play with my trike no more. I don't wanna! This is infinitely cooler for all involved.

And yes, there is a black version if what you had in mind is something closer to filling the back with ice and making a beer run.

These are kind of neat for kids or if you use a bike delivery service, etc.

as an urbanist living in the forth metropolis in the world, bikes are so precious not only for fun at the park but for utility. problem is to find out a utile bike: here it is!!! a cargo bike! now i can go shopping and run the dogs to the park without searching for a parking lot.

great!
