A man with a `` Bakfiets`` moving funiture

Yesterday a man with a modern outlay of what we call : a ``bakfiets``
This is the old-fashioned one . The mother of them all . Seen on pic.`s from 1930 and earlier . At that time used because cars /lorries are to expensive . To day for the same reason and for environment reasons . Pic. taken in the city Groningen where a lot of students use it to day to move.

That must take a lot of effort to move furniture that way

Wow, this is great!1, sure beats using a gas powered truck!...some great detail and focus in this photo, nice job!

What a handy thing to have around! Here everyone uses trailers on the back of their cars, but then Aussies drive everywhere anyway. I guess people have to drive them carefully around corners!

[Dione Giorgio]

Amazing. Never seen anything like it. A very clean way to move about.

[Hazel]

What a good idea - looks very comfy!!!

[Fisher Family]

How practical. I've never seen one on the front of a bike this long, only on the back. Brilliant idea unless you live in the hills! katharine

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

[Ivan]

I`ve often use the ``Bakfiets`` in earlier times to move goods. You can cycle on/with it and normally you do. Only high bridges gives sometimes problems and you`ve to ask for help. He was in a pedestrian area.
To day they become more popular and you can rent them by the hour
