Someone make us some Cargobike Icons for Gmaps...

...I'm kinda busy just now.

Come on now, don't be shy...I know you're out there!

And I know there is at least one Bakfietsen (grammer help, please), a Long-John, and a couple of others in the area - and that's in addition to many more Xtrabikes. Where are you?

WABA's pictures from "Bike Me Out To the Ballgame" are HERE.

The Inspirational Xtracycle Sighting

I saw a fella riding an Xtracycle this morning, probably to work, and I thought, wouldn't it be cool if all the cargo bikes in the area were linked somehow. Well, here's a forum.
