Cargo Bikes in the Boston Area !

Want a cargo bike in Massachusetts?

I quote Bicycle Belle (yep, it's a great name!)
"We're getting 12 bakfietsen. 10 long and 2 short. We have 5 FR8's coming, and 9 GR8's and a special order Opafiets. It was hard for us to predict what the market is/ will be, so we perhaps were a little cautious on the FR8's and GR8's. Unlike the Bakfietsen, those can actually be shipped on pallets, so if all else fails, we can get more mid-year."

Ffor those not familiar with Dutch bicycle names:

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Bike!

This has to be the best bike I have ever seen.
It is featured on the "Biking In Heels" blog.
It is a "cargo bike" with a front compartment for a child to sit.

Slow Boat from China

A San Eagle bike, spotted in town

I was out and about when I saw this bike.
It's a San Eagle bike.
What interested me was the front dynamo, a feature commonly seen on Dutch bikes, but certainly not on the mass-market mountain bikes, city bikes, and hybrids sold in Sweet Albion (that's England, for those that didn't get the reference).

It fits in the back

My folding bike fits in the back of our car (automobile),
even with a Steco front rack and a basket fitted.

As regular readers will know, I ride a folding bike.
Today I was due to take our car (automobile) to the local dealer's service workshop for its MOT (annual safety test).
The dealer's is quite close to the centre of town, and near the shops (stores).
So I thought I would take my bike, and, while the car (automobile) was at the dealer's, cycle to the supermarket to get some milk and bread and see what else they have that takes my fancy.

Basket Case

Get a basket.
No, really,
Get a basket for your bike.
Never mind cool.
They are just SO practical.
