Here are some photos of a nice cargo bike that I always see chained up at the BART train station near my house. Enjoy.

That's pretty sexy!

Never heard of these guys before. Not cheap, but some amazing looking bikes. Their 'ViewPoint' is one of the most unique bikes I've seen in a while.

Thanks for taking and sharing those pics, Stax.
That is indeed a hot cargo bike. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, inspiring.
Like to meet the guy who owns that.

Check out the funky rear seat on this tandem:

I think the bike posted above is actually prettier than most of the delivery bikes on the website.

a little off-topic, but my brother has a tri bike with a seat set-up like that. he got it for 30% list at an expo somewhere (only reason his wife let him buy a 4th bike)

http://www.bilenky.com/prod31.htmlYou young whippersnappers! That's an Allsop SRS (SoftRide Suspension) beam- no not the acronym you'd get for Allsop Softride Suspension.

It was pretty big in the early nineteen nineties and touted for both road and mountain bike use. Cute idea, but I liked their suspension stem better. A fellow mechanic at my bike shop actually liked it a lot and even went on to start his own bike shop that carried SRS equipped bikes, among others.

Someone I know found this picture of an onion seller on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/supercharz/2081944716/). Awesome. :)

...Never heard of these guys before....

Bilenky is pretty well respected if not well known in tandem circles, they claim to be the first builder to apply S&S couplers to a tandem. Kevbabe and I ride one of thier fillet brazed tandems..Really nice workmanship. (which we frequently pull a trailer filled with either dogs or groceries with, just to justify posting in this forum!) Thier site (linked above) has a video of one of thier cargo bikes winning a utility bike race. <googles> Here it is: Cargo bike pr0n video.

Is it me, or does that seem like a not well protected bike for being locked up at a public transport hub?

oh...I missed the chain to the saddle & frame. Nevermind.

Who says utility = ugly? I guess that is why it needs 2 locks. Cool dynohub.
