A Bicycle Built for... Four or Five?

So about three years ago my friend, Sally, showed me online these really cool bikes from Denmark. They're like mini vans, but in a bike form. You can really bike around town with your kids and do your errands at the same time. We were intrigued by them. But didn't know where we could find them. Well, I just found the answer!

Have you heard of a BOXCYCLE?

These are amazing bikes. You can fit a child and an adult, 4 children plus they have an attachment in the bike for a 5th child. Can you imagine the workout?? Plus, think of the savings on gas.... incredible.

Here is a video that was on their site. I thought it was cute and want to share.


I wish they had a video of someone doing this in the city. I'm right off of a very busy street and so I can't imagine that there would be a lot of room for my boxcycle and the speeding cars. But maybe one day... until I figure that part out I could at least go down the hill to drop my kids off at school in it.

I did find this video, however, that shows how agile the bike is. Wow. This is really cool.


Maybe this would work in the city after all!

I think these are really cool. The only downside (okay, other than me being totally out of shape and not able to ride this up the hill by my house... I'd have to get off and push and that would be really embarrassing) but the only other downside is cost. They're a wee bit on the expensive side. Just a few thousand... that's all. EEKS. But when you think about what a car costs each year (not alone what you spent to purchase it).. I'm sure it's about the same.

What do you think? Would you want one? I want one.

Enjoy!
