Some icons for G-maps

Not perfect, but A-OK.

Another guy named David made the Bakfiet.

I, also named David, made the xtrabike.

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.
