Trikes for hauling stuff

Trikes for hauling stuff. 2 wheels at front, one wheel at the back.

Here's a guest post article from ClubOrlov:

http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2012/01/r ... carts.html

"... Living on one such street, all of them unpaved here, I have noticed a discernible uptick in the number and variety of pushcarts. Here they are called tricyclos. In other places—Denmark or Holland, for instance—modern pushcarts are “cargo cycles.” They can take different forms but the most common is what is known in the bike world as tadpole or front-load trike—2 wheels in front and 1 wheel in the back. These are ideal for food vendors or pedicabs which require frequent interactions with the scene on the street.

Slow down, think and live from the heart. This is all that is real

Re: Trikes for hauling stuff

Really cool, thanks for the link Alli.

I am going to be attempting a project soon on turning my childhood mountain bike into a trike. My family has several childhood bikes that are currently rusting in a shed at my dad's house, so I have a lot of parts to salvage from. Will keep you updated and hopefully post some photos in the coming months.
