so as i was browsing the internet the other day looking for a bike that i could ride around with my kids, i came across the bike of my dreams: the dutch bakfiet. pronounced BAK FEETS, this crazy looking thing is found all over europe and has just recently made it to the states. BAK meaning "box" and FIETS meaning "bike" this box bike will make all my wishes come true.
these bikes have room for your kids, they also have two benches and room for your groceries or flowers or picnic basket. this bike is not for those who are always in a hurry. it is the minivan of bikes.
there are seat belts for the kids
you can even haul around your little babies
they have covers for when it is frigid and rainy
and you can even carry home your christmas tree in it! i know once i show this picture to quinn it'll be a done deal.
let's get real lexi, this amazing bakfiet is $3000 and we are dental students with large loans. maybe one day... and only if i live in an area with side walks and stores and parks close to my home. (that's a big IF). youtube has a video of a bakfiet race in portland. it's hilarious. you should check it out.

Maybe you could make your own? Something along the lines of duct tape, a bike and a wheelbarrow?
where would you park the thing? you surely can't chain it to a regular bike place, that thing's gonna need it's own parking stall!
it's clever though. have you ever thought about getting a jogger stroller that has a bike trailer attachment??? that's what i want when we have kiddies.
becca, don't encourage us. you know quinn...he really would try to make one and then our kids' lives would be in danger.
Oh man. The Browns and their constant need for 2-wheeled modes of transportation. Really, don't let Quinn make one...really.
Hey Lexi, it was so good to see you at Christmas, your little guy is so adorable! Well when I saw your post on this bike it caught my eye, because my brother Jay has one and he loves it, he just puts his little baby and mama too and the go everywhere, it is way cool and the kids love it! He said that people stop him around town all the time. Check out his blog he has some fun pictures. Take care. Summer
So my brother jay and his wife amy have one of those bikes! It is hilarious to see them cruisen around town! Check out their blog. I think it has a picture of jay cruising with baby Tesla!
