21st Century Minivan

This thing is so cool! Makes me wish I had a kid… only for a second, mind you.

It’s a transformer toy for Mom… it turns from a bike and a stroller into a pedal-powered kid-hauler. Check it out:

Oh and, check out the shoes! You know you have “bike culture” when you see women pedaling bikes in high-heeled boots. ;-)

    Look at the size of that tubing! German engineering at it’s finest.

    The Pensacola bike polo kids made one of these to haul their bike polo stuff.

    I love bike polo hauler! Bike people are so creative.

    It’s only for a fraction of a second, but I think the best part of the video is where the mom is bending down at the front to release the structure and drop the wheel.

    The little girl bends over, as if to supervise.

    And it’s a deal, too. On sale for only $5K+!

    When they send me one for a road test, the first thing I’ll look to see is how it handles with so much weight ahead of the steering axis and ahead of the front tire contact patch.

    That’s great! I’d love just the front module, to throat up to a 24″ cruiser BMX frame, probably. We need more cheap cargo cycles.
