Camper bike
- dasil003 17y agoChanging a tire looks like an ordeal.
- noodle 17y agohe probably could use a standard car jack. i'd imagine biking up hills would be the true ordeal.
- benatkin 17y agoUndoubtedly. I'd like to see a more modern version.
- davidw 17y agoEven going down hills would not be much fun... if you hit a curve with any speed at all, off the side of the road you go. Also, any good side winds look like they'd push the thing around.
- joeyo 17y agoAt least you can pedal in the shade!
- tdedecko 17y agoHere is another "Camper Bike" but with a different design. You could actually stay a night in it for $10. http://daviswiki.org/Human_Powered_Housing_Project http://daviswiki.org/Human_Powered_Housing_Project
- jrockway 17y agoNo brakes?
- SwellJoe 17y agoProbably coaster brakes. Turn the pedals backward a bit, and it stops the wheel, as found on kids bikes and beach cruisers and the like. There's also some sort of cable running down the center from the front to back...but I can't really determine what that's for. Unlikely to be gears, though.
- bprater 17y agoBurning man will never be the same. Any hackers going, btw?
- Ixiaus 17y agoCreative, I like it (whether it's truly functional or not).
- yread 17y agoEven better is the camper kart http://www.kevincyr.net/index.php?/ongoing/camper-kart/ http://www.kevincyr.net/index.php?/ongoing/camper-kart/
- monkeygrinder 17y agoI can't vote this up enough
- mosheg101 17y agoIt gives "tipping" a new meaning...
- onreact-com 17y agoWhile this thing here is only a work of art there are many cargo bikes out there that can carry a substantial load, the Yuba can up to 300kg. http://www.yubaride.com/ http://www.yubaride.com/
- furyg3 17y agoCan't handle anything like 300kg, but tons of people here (in Holland) are running around with these: http://www.bakfiets.nl/modellen.php http://www.bakfiets.nl/modellen.php As well as oversized tricycles to move really heavy objects.
- onreact-com 17y agoYeah, the classic. We have plenty of those around here (Berlin) as well but they're quite expensive (hand made!). Other cargo bikes get manufactured and are thus cheaper.
