tandem bike friday!

i've seen a few, but none with the front rack like that. he also said that it was usually set up for three people (for him and his kids).

if you are reading this, sorry i cut off your head...but no time at the stoplight to move back to get the full picture.



see any crazy fun bikes on your commute today?

Big Box Bikes

On one of our obligatory trips to the hell that is Costco, James and I came across this lovely solution to getting there and getting stuff home.

A tandem for companionship and to share the load.

Big baskets to put all of the big shopping in.

More space to carry more stuff, because you never walk out of Costco with less than you thought you would buy.

And a cute bell to ding at the clueless parkers in the lot.

I would bet dollars to donuts that the riders of this bicycle had a more pleasant Costco trip than anyone else there.  I know.  I will do anything to not drive to Costco.  Soooooo much better, and cheaper because you can't buy as much, when you Big Box Shop on your bicycle.

return of the tandem cargo bike

i saw this tandem xtracycle over at sf bike party and the bicycle music fest a few months ago. i thought it was awesome. they are often seen schilling for a local politician who is running for mayor.

well, looks like they get around town, and definitely make a statement...OF FUN!

and look, they've got roller skates! and they are locked to the frame! heh. cause you never know.

so this party of two or three certainly gets around sf. i also love that you can take two people around and also just carry things. practical! do you all see some practical party bikes all around your town?
