Cabby
The Gazelle Cabby ($3450) is a quality modern version of a Dutch Bakfiets (Box Bike). Because the Dutch use their bike for everything, a large capacity bicycle has become popular for hauling kids and shopping. A cargo bike is a great alternative to the car for many trips and is so much more fun!
The Gazelle Cabby has extra wide tyres for better grip and a low step through frame for extra comfort. There is an extra long luggage carrier on the back of the bike to carry large capacity panniers as well. The 2-wheeled design rides much like a normal bike which is important in corners and is superior in handling to the 3-wheel design cargo bike that is also available on the market.
Gazelle has patented the foldable design of the cargo box which helps when negotiating tight spaces like the doorway of a house or garage. The bench seat in the Cabby has space for 2 children side by side and are kept safe by strong seat belts.
I thought it might be easier to get Yehuda Moon and Thistle to explain what’s involved (Click through for the big versions).
