Dream Bike

Ah. I will be so pleased to have them. From Dutch Bike Co. Seattle via Blackbird.

The bike company also has this fascinating vehicle available for rental - the Conference Bike.

Called the CoBi-7, it's a seven-seater tricycle. Only one person needs to steer. The rest just pedal and chit chat.

You can see how it works in this amusing video. A sharper version can be accessed through the official Conference Bike website.



You know how girls tend to bunch together and chatter excitedly as they walk, to the point it feels like a giggly mob is cutting through the crowd? This so makes me think of that.

But it's not as nonsensical as it might initially seem. According to the sidebar info in the youtube link, this was used in Dublin and Paris to let children with mental or physical disabilities tour the city at safe times.

Finally, they've also come up with a 5-person CoBi if you want something more streamlined and lightweight.
