…with Cargo bikes.

Check out a really cool one at Dutch Bike Seattle.

Bakfiets. Beautiful!

I found this article on their site also. Woman and the bicycle.

It was written in 1895 by Marguerite Merington. Here’s an excerpt:

She borrows, hires, or buys a wheel and follows tentatively. Her point of view is forever alter changed ; long before practice has made her all expert she is an enthusiast, ever ready to proselyte, defend—or ride!

It’s fun reading and inspirational. How writing styles have changed…and not necessarily for the better.  At least not in my case.
